GUND, the oldest stuffed animal manufacturer in the U.S., was founded by German immigrant, Adolph Gund in Connecticut in 1898. Gund was one of the first to design and produce stuffed animals. In 1907, Jacob Swedlin, got an entry level job at GUND. When Gund retired in 1925 with no children of his own, he sold the stuffed animal business to Swedlin. GUND has been a family business ever since. Bruce Raiffe, grandson of Jacob Swedlin, joined the company in 1977 and became the company's president in 1993 and has been leading Gund since then.
The GUND stuffed animal company was responsible for many innovations now popular among toy manufacturers, including Gund’s now trademark understuffing technique, which makes Gund stuffed animals and stuffed toys especially soft and huggable. If you find a Gund toy somewhere else that we do not stock, let us know and if it is a currently available Gund toy, we will do our best to get it for you.
The famous “Gotta Getta GUND” advertising campaign led to the company's recognition as a leading consumer stuffed animal brand. GUND is known worldwide for its top quality, soft and huggable plush designs. More GUND products may be found in our Gund Bears department. Freebears.com is proud to be a Gund Diamond Dealer.
