COMPANY PROFILE: Fred & Friends

Fred (aka Fred and Friends) is a manufacturer of a range of cute and fun household and desktop items. They are based in Rhode Island, USA, and they are capable of producing products in silicone rubber, plastics, glass, paper and other materials. Their offerings cover a wide range of products for every room of the house. Now that we cannot easily order Koziol products anymore, Fred has become our bread-and-butter manufacturer. At least half of the products we sell on our website are from Fred, I think mostly because the ideas driving Fred’s development team mirror our design philosophy. Fred is always our first stop at the NY International Gift Fair. Some of the most consistent and popular Fred products we sell are the Ouch! Toothpick holders, the Fuzz Crime Scene Scarf and the Xposed Bags. Also, Fred makes a wide range of fun silicone ice trays that mold ice into different shapes, and a whole line of different doormats made from recycled rubber. The ice trays and the doormats are some of our best sellers. Besides all that, the Fred team is a bunch of extremely entertaining and warm-hearted people, which makes doing business with them a pleasure.
