Gund Teddy Bears

Gund Teddy Bears

Gund Bears

Gund was founded in 1898 by Adolph Gund, and is the oldest manufacturer of soft toys in America. Gund is responsible for creating the industry safety standards and manufacturing processes that we still bide by today. 1925 saw Adolph retire and ownership was bought by Sweldin, who became the very first licensor of cartoon characters and produced those of the day - Mickey Mouse, Tigger, Popeye and Felix. The 1980's saw Gund really bloom, becoming one of the 50 most recognised brands in the U.S. Their brand slogan, Gotta Getta Gund, was born out of this time. It is also when they launched their most successful (and what turned them into a household name) polar - like bear "Snuffles". "Snuffles" was available in white, black, pink and tan. He had black eyes, a faux suede nose and a stitch mouth. The Platinum Edition "Snuffles" was white with silver effect. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the launch of "Snuffles", one twice the normal size was produced. On July 1st 2008, Gund was sold to the gift company, Enesco.

Today they still produce and manufacture 1500 products, ranging from Gund Baby, Gund Animals, Gund Bears, Gund Snuffles, Gund Licence (character bears eg Sesame St.) and Gund Holiday (seasonal pieces commemorating Christmas and Easter). They are well known for "understuffing" their products in order to give them a more, squidgy and cuddly soft feel. Gund is also priced slightly higher in the market, due to it's exceptionally high quality, and has become the Gold Standard when compared with other manufacturers.
