Kreinik under new ownership
Apr 3, 2024
Kreinik has a new home and new ownership
After 51 years in business, Kreinik Manufacturing Company has been sold to fellow thread maker Rainbow Gallery of Burbank, California, USA.
Doug and his wife, Myla, have decided to retire and move closer to their grandchildren. Doug joined his parents' business 41 years ago and expanded the thread lines both in variety and global reach in that time. He will remain involved, sharing his extensive knowledge and passion for creativity through talks, shows and other ways.
We understand that this may be a shock and concern; it is a big transition for all of us. It may be a bumpy ride at the beginning, but plans are in place to improve and expand production, making delivery faster. Rainbow Gallery offers a complementary line of threads used in needlework, fiber art, and fly fishing. A staple in the needlework market for 41 years, they are a natural fit for the Kreinik thread lines. Our common goal is to ensure that Kreinik threads continue to inspire your creativity, hobbies and passions for many years to come. We love seeing what you do with Kreinik threads, and thank you for using us in your projects and businesses all years.
There will be a transition period when equipment and inventory are shipped across country, no threads will be made, and order shipments will be delayed. We apologize for the inconvenience and any frustration this may cause. We are transitioning as quickly as possible to provide minimal interruption to your projects, communities, events, and businesses.
Details:
- The West Virginia factory and factory outlet store will close April 8, 2024 (no orders will be shipped from there after April 8)
- Production is moving to Rainbow Gallery’s factory in Burbank, California
- There will be a transition period when equipment and inventory are shipped across country, no threads will be made, and order shipments will be delayed. Please be patient with us and with Kreinik retailers during this time.
- The Kreinik web site and social media will remain an active, up-to-date source of Kreinik news. You are welcome to contact us through these resources if you have any questions or concerns.
