GETTING TO KNOW DUNCAN

Our History

What began in 1946 as a small startup in the Duncan family’s garage is today a thriving international business with the same close-knit, family-owned vibes our company was founded on. Our dedication to our team and our adaptability to change has evolved this company from the garage to selling creative lifestyle products in every state in the U.S. and 35 other countries.

It takes a lot to keep a company with 200 employees running. Our finance, IT and human resources teams make sure we’re always operating in top shape.

Benefits

Being on our team has some serious perks!

Giving Back

We believe we are part of something much bigger than ourselves … our community.

So far, we've donated over 2,500 masks to Community Medical Centers, with thousands more on the way.

We partner with The Boys & Girls Club several times throughout the year, donating art supplies, hosting tie-dye activities and more.

We donate art materials to local schools and non-profit organizations to help reduce the cost of materials for teachers.

We’ve partnered with this awesome program at Fresno State to help special needs students learn life skills and job etiquette.

We provide student internships, and some of our team members have served as student supervisors and on the school’s advisory committee.

Our Mission

Simply put, our mission at Duncan Enterprises is to make it easy to experience creativity.

But with such a diverse portfolio of brands and products, you still might be wondering what we actually do in the grand scheme of things. We look at it this way:

We innovate products.
We grow people.
We give back to our community.

How do we do this? Our team follows 6 Guiding Principles that have helped us thrive for more than 70 years:

Practice high ethical standards.
Respect people and their ideas.
Use education, training and recognition to empower team members.
Embrace constant change, improvement and innovation.
Be socially and environmentally responsible.
Achieve continuous long-term success and profitability for all stakeholders.
