Up until about a decade ago, a huge company called Graco Children's Products used to be headquartered in the town over. Elverson isn't exactly a big town, but like many rural areas, it's been developed. We have a Wal-Mart, and a Chevy dealership, and factories (Trucks, of course). But It also has a business network I couldn't have dreamed of ever being exposed to....
A secret network of Baby Product Development and Customer Relations.
ALL Ex-Graco in some form or another. ALL Rogue.
These men are:
Dean: a Former Businessman, who ran a Model making, Engineering, and Customer Service Office (Post Factory Closing). He Recently Moved from there to a small office right down the road. The Company is called Nuna Baby Essentials. They're Products are Dutch Designed luxury baby goods that are built to last. Very industrial aesthetics and really neat proprietary mechanics.
Art: Art worked for Graco Before and with Dean, but left before all the big close-downs. Art actually had a big hand in having one of Nuna's US office ending up in the elverson area. It sits not 3 miles down he road from Graco's old plant.
Nate: A Former Cessna Engineer and Graco engineer. But more recently, he's opened his own firm. The firm handles (Drum roll) Exclusively Baby Products. This firm is a strategic firm. What they do is work as a consultant for Baby Product Companies, like Graco, and act as a development middle man since they have a long tied relationship with Wonderland, a massive business in China that is responsible for manufacturing basically any stroller or high chair you could go buy in the US.
