COLUMBIA, Md., Nov. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Classic Brands
("Classic" or the "Company"), a leading designer, distributor and
manufacturer of sleep products, sleep accessories and furniture, is
proud to celebrate its 50th year as a visionary player
in the U.S. bedding industry.
Fifty years ago, the Company surfed the 70's waterbed wave under
the name Classic Corporation, and would soon become one of the top
producers of waterbed mattresses. By 1987, waterbeds accounted for
over 22% of all US mattress sales—but even when this trend dried
out, Classic adapted to offer a diverse array of mattresses,
adjustable bases and foundations, sleep accessories and home
furnishings.
Today, Classic Brands continues to curate comfort on a national
scale. The Company operates more than one million square feet of
distribution space with over 120 dedicated employees designing,
producing and distributing premium bedding products to a diverse
group of customers—including direct-to-consumer brands,
brick-and-mortar operations, and online retailers. Classic works
with retail icons such as Walmart, Target, Macy's, Home Depot,
Amazon, and Wayfair, and the Company's high-quality sleep products
are also featured among emerging American e-commerce brands, such
as Nectar and Purple. Thanks to the skilled craftsmen at work on
the ground level, Classic is confident in a future as firm and
comfortable as its products.
"It is an honor to lead an organization that embodies the best
traits of American manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and
perseverance," said Scott Burger,
who has been CEO of Classic Brands since 2019. "Our 50th
anniversary is a testament to the commitment and dedication of our
past and present employees, as well as our continued focus on
innovation and service. I am incredibly proud of the team's hard
work, and all that they have accomplished. I want to thank the
Classic family, as well as our valued customers and strategic
partners, without whom this significant milestone would not have
been possible."
Classic has been proudly based in Maryland for the last five decades. While its
roots haven't changed, the Company embraces evolution: Classic's
product development and supply chain are constantly advancing to
deliver world-class execution, consistent product availability, and
unparalleled speed to market. From its home base in the Free State,
the Company maintains loyal, well-rested customers across the
country—all while attracting new customers seeking a deeper,
healthier night's sleep at a competitive price.
"We're not just celebrating an impressive past; we're looking
forward to a promising future," added Burger. "With our dedicated
employee base and expanded domestic capabilities, we are
well-positioned to continue our forward momentum in this dynamic
industry. I could not be more excited about the next 50 years of
Classic. We are, and will continue to be, built for dreaming."
