Business Booming
In the 1970s, Craftline expands rapidly and it quickly outgrows the factory and the warehouse. Manny and his partners buy nine acres of industrial land where they have room to build and expand. Manny travels the world looking for inspiration for new designs, including to Valencia, Spain; Taipei, Taiwan; and Milan, Italy.
The 1970s are a prosperous era in Canada and this is good news for Manny and his business, which keeps expanding. He soon comes up with the idea to manufacture ornamental objects, which leads to a new line of products – Craftique Originals.
