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 teddy bears, in the early 1900s. 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 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.
