Select Amenities

Hospitality supplier in Hockessin, Delaware
Select Amenities was founded in 1993 by Vince McIntosh. The company currently functions as a wholesale distributor for major consumer-brand companies as well as manufacturer’s representative for several key amenity brands. Travelers throughout the United States and worldwide have enjoyed our products in upscale hotels and in first- and business-class service onboard leading airlines.

Beginning in 1993, we were instrumental in developing the Rembrandt brand as a leader in the oral-care amenity segment. This involved working with the brand owner to launch a coordinated travel-size range in 1994, developing relationships with leading airline-kit and hotel distributors and communicating the Rembrandt story with airline and hotel company management teams. End-users have included many major airlines and upscale hotels, resorts, and conference centers. Between 1994 and 2004, over 100 million units of Rembrandt mouthwash, toothpaste, and toothbrushes were sold in the airline and hotel segment.

Rembrandt was involved in the recent wave of consumer-brand acquisitions. The Gillette Company first acquired the brand in 2004, and then after Procter & Gamble acquired Gillette in 2005, Johnson & Johnson acquired Rembrandt in early 2006. During this period, Select Amenities emerged as a multi-brand source to the airline kit packing community. Select Amenities is under contract with Procter & Gamble to distribute brands including Scope, Crest, Oral-B, Glide, Gillette, Foamy, Old Spice, Secret, Herbal Essences, Pantene and Olay.

They are launching Take Care™ with P&G Brands, kits that insure travelers “Arrive Well Groomed” with leading American brands and innovative packaging. And seeing a need for a competitively priced, botanical-based amenity, the Garden Voyage Botanicals® range invites travelers to “take a voyage through our garden” while hydrating and refreshing during the journey.

Kits with both brands are packed in Wilmington, Del., in facilities employing people with disabilities. (As Chair of the National Governors’ Association, Delaware Governor Jack Markell’s signature initiative has been “A Better Bottom Line: Employing People with Disabilities.”)

By working closely with internationally respected consumer goods companies and leading airline-kit suppliers, they facilitate dependable availability of world-class brands for travelers. Put another way, they help quality-brand impressions take flight! Select Amenities is privately held, headquartered in Newark, Delaware, and leases warehouse and fulfillment space. Vince McIntosh is accredited by the International Hotel & Motel Association as a Master Hotel Supplier.
