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.

How We Make an Impact
Sales
We make stuff. We sell stuff. Our dynamic sales and customer support teams ensure that our products are sold and supported on an international scale across major retailers.
Brand
With 10 brands and counting under one roof, our brand team is all about innovation, diversity and taking our brands to crazy new levels of superstardom.
Operations
We think it’s pretty cool that we actually make and bottle a lot of the 30 million pounds of product we ship each year right here at our Fresno facility. Our hard-working operations team gets it done.

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.
