Heritage & History
Kolcraft Enterprises was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1946 by the Kolb family as a small manufacturer of cribs and juvenile furniture. The company has remained family-owned through four generations — an unusual feat in an industry that has seen nearly all domestic competitors either shut down or move production overseas.
Kolcraft made the strategic decision to maintain American manufacturing while investing in design and safety, staying at the forefront of changing CPSC safety standards for cribs, play yards, and strollers. Today Kolcraft is one of the few remaining American manufacturers of baby furniture at scale.
Made in Chicago, Illinois
Kolcraft's headquarters and primary manufacturing operations are based in Chicago, Illinois, where the company has operated since 1946. The company's play yards and mattresses are assembled in the USA, maintaining the domestic manufacturing commitment that has defined the brand since its founding.
For parents looking for baby products from a company with a genuine American manufacturing history — Kolcraft's 78-year track record in Chicago provides a foundation of trust that few juvenile product companies can match.
