Operating name: Kushies Baby
This organization has been a family owned and operated business,
originally incorporated in 1953. Historically, the company
manufactured doll clothes then changed to focus on baby products.
Specifically, Ms. Susan Malinowski and Mr. Sam Perez developed
and patented a reusable cloth diaper to offer new parents
ecological and economical alternative to disposable products.
Under the brand name "Kushies", this product's achievements in
comfort, fit, wear and durability were unmatched, making it
instantly successful and recipient of numerous international
acknowledgements including the Environmental Choice Program in
Canada, the Environmentally Friendly Product Competition Gold
Award from Hong Kong, Jaycettes and the National Parenting
Center's Seal of Approval to name a few. Kushies has continued
to expand and enhance the resuable cloth diaper to its current
offering of three alternatives: Ultra Kushies, Classic
Kushies
and Diaper Basic. Today, Kushies Baby Products remains a
market
leader in the production of resusable cloth diapers.
Since the introduction of the reusable cloth diaper, Kushies
Baby Products has so continued to expand into other product
offerings to now be recognized as a manufacturer and distributor
of a full line of baby products that are currently available in
over thirty countries around the world and as "Kushies" in the
United States.
In 1996, with the assistance of the Canadian International
Development Agency, the organization entered into a joint
venture
in China to bring "Kushies" to this emerging country and
capitalize on the significant opportunities this region offered.
The joint venture presently operates a 1,800 square metre
manufacturing and distribution facility in Changzhou, Province
of
Jiangsu, China. While drawing predominantly on the local labour
force, the Joint Venture is managed by Ray Perez, formerly
Director of International Sales Kushies Baby Products in Canada.
The company continues to also manufacture and distribute health
care/medical products under their "Freestyle" line.
Presently, the company is privately owned and operated in Stoney
Creek, Ontario by Sam Perez and Susan Malinowski.
