CHICOPEE, MA, October 17, 2010
Janlynn Corporation today announced the purchase of Crafter's Pride , including their entire line of pre-finished needlecraft accessories, along with thousands of quality needlecraft designs. Janlynn will immediately look to expose the line through their extensive list of craft retailers, bringing these wonderful accessories to stitchers around the world. Additionally, Janlynn will take over the operations of http://www.CraftersPride.com and will carry all items on http://www.Janlynn.com.Crafter's Pride is a family owned business which began operations 21 years ago. "Crafter's Pride was established to bring together many small talented cross stitch companies with unique ideas, but limited marketing ability," stated Armand Daniel, founder and president of Crafter's Pride . "Janlynn was the obvious fit to purchase Crafter's Pride , as they have been working to bring creativity and innovation to the craft consumer, and have remained a family business for over 31 years."
"We are very excited to bring the Crafter's Pride products to the marketplace," stated Andrew Goetsch, VP-Business Development at Janlynn. "We have a three-pronged approach to re-introducing Crafter's Pride to consumers -
• Retailers across the world will have first opportunity to carry the entire line of Crafter's Pride products along with project guides where appropriate.
• eTailers will also be offered the line of products along with some free downloadable creative projects for their customers.
• Janlynn's Product Development department is already at work on building these products into new kit offerings for needlecraft enthusiasts."
