Creative Brands of Phoenix, AZ has acquired the P. Graham Dunn
Company of Dalton, OH.
P. Graham Dunn was founded in 1976 by Peter Dunn and has thrived
in the rural Amish area of northeast Ohio. P. Graham Dunn is a
family owned and operated company focused on providing high quality
wood products to both the Christian and gift retail market. In 2019
the company was sold by Peter and LeAnna Dunn to its employees in
the form of an Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP). We are
excited to continue the legacy Peter Dunn began, and lead P. Graham
Dunn into its next chapter.
For close to fifty years P. Graham Dunn has solidified its
position as the market leader in custom and quick ship wall art and
various wood products for retailers across North America and
abroad. Customers everywhere recognize the quality and
craftsmanship in each hand tooled product and have been impressed
with the exceptional customer buying experience.
The P. Graham Dunn line of cherry, pine and poplar wood species
are the most diverse and dynamic wood product offerings in the
industry.
“We are very pleased to have a new steward for this wonderful
brand who will grow the business dramatically in the future. The
Creative Brands team is well versed with the needs of our industry
and can help strengthen the P. Graham Dunn marketing position
across all channels of distribution,” said P. Graham Dunn VP of
Sales, Brian Bossman. “With their resources, and the help of their
field sales force, telemarketing staff and sophisticated web
presence, we firmly believe that P. Graham Dunn will continue to
flourish and offer our customers the highest quality products and
superior customer service that our industry has come to expect.”
Mr. Bossman and the elite sales team he manages have agreed to lead
P. Graham Dunn under this new corporate umbrella of Creative
Brands. Mr. Bossman further states that “Creative Brands has
acquired multiple wood carving, color printing and laser machines
that will facilitate our Name Drop and Coast to Coast
sub brands that will be produced state side in our facility in
Eastern Arkansas. We plan to continue to offer custom wood products
as well for our many loyal key account customers.”
