It is an exciting opportunity for us to join forces and continue to build our brand alongside an iconic brand like Evenflo. Now, more than ever, our mission to create sustainable silicone products is at the forefront of initiating great change in the way we live. We are enthusiastic about the future and forever grateful to the strong community support we have enjoyed along the way. It has been an incredible journey built on the belief that we can, and will change the world!"
