Established in 1979, Gibson Overseas manufactures dinnerware, flatware, and glassware. Gibson Overseas makes and markets its products under the Cuisine Select, Gibson Everyday, Gibson Elite brand names, as well as under licenses Sunbeam and Oster. Gibson Overseas sells its wares (including combination sets, which put dinnerware, flatware, and glassware all in one box) to large retailers the likes of Pier 1 Imports and Crate & Barrel. Gibson Overseas, Inc. is owned by the Gabbay family and today is run by founder Nejat Gabbay's three sons.

Graco Awards began over 25 years ago as a result of the State National Guard not having an adequate source for their medals and service ribbons. Meeting this apparent, but difficult to fill, need, Graco has grown its manufacturing capabilities to include working with almost every Government Agency. Some Graco medals are specific Agency secrets and will never be seen in public. There is a high degree of trust and responsibility placed on their staff and employees for these time-sensitive awards.

Graco continues its tradition of innovation, with products like the imonitor™ Digital Baby Monitor and the compact folding Contempo™ Highchair. In 1998, Graco proudly acquired Century Car Seats, combining two of the most respected brand names in baby products, and leading to innovative products like the TurboBooster® SafeSeat™ (Step 3) youth booster car seat.Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid™ company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, the dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products—products that inspire parents and babies alike—remains, and continues on.
