Giftcraft Celebrates World Headquarters Grand Opening

Brampton, Ontario – Hundreds of retailers and members of the gift and home decor industry celebrated the Grand Opening of Giftcraft’s new corporate headquarters on Jan. 26. The gala event, held prior to CGTA Show week, featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially dedicate the new complex and commemorate Giftcraft’s investment in its future as a leader in the gift industry.

The highlight of the new headquarters building is the company’s newly designed 17,000 square-foot showroom, the final stage in Giftcraft’s expansion and relocation. The facility also houses administrative offices and a new state-of-the-art 280,000 square-foot distribution center.

During the event, Giftcraft executives and sales and showroom team guided visitors through the showroom’s beautifully decorated displays, which highlight the company’s entire expanded product line for 2008. Featuring European-influenced design treatments and incorporating the creative expertise of top designers from around the world, the showroom also offers innovative display ideas and cross-merchandising opportunities retailers can replicate in their own stores.

“We are extremely proud of our new corporate headquarters and this spectacular showroom, representative of our investment in the future and our commitment to providing our valued customers with high-quality, on-trend products and exceptional service,” said Trevor Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Giftcraft. “For the first time, we are able to showcase the entire Giftcraft product offering in one location. This expanded showroom allows our retail customers to view the broad scope of our line while receiving the attention of our knowledgeable sales and showroom staff. We invite retailers from all over the U.S. and Canada to make an appointment to visit our new headquarters and preview our exciting new 2008 product line.”
