Itasca, Ill. – Enesco LLC, a global leader in the giftware and home/ garden decor market, today announced the Company’s second acquisition with the purchase of the assets of Mud Productions, Inc. DBA Our Name Is Mud, a leader in the ceramic giftware industry.

The acquisition of Our Name Is Mud builds on Enesco’s strategy of developing a balanced portfolio of unique and differentiated global brands. Our Name Is Mud brings contemporary designs and occasion-driven product themes to Enesco’s current stable of brands. Known for its bold, fresh and whimsical pottery designs, Our Name Is Mud product formats include mugs, platters, plates, personalizable pottery and other ceramic tabletop assortments.

“We are very excited to be joining a company that is investing in growing its portfolio of products and is passionate about bringing those quality products to market,” said Lorrie Veasey. “Our Name Is Mud has a following of dedicated fans, from both the retail and consumer perspective. With its focus on creativity and design, Enesco is a great home for us and our product line. They have the capability to further market the brand and our unique designs to new consumers worldwide.”
