Celebrating 20 Years of Mastery!
Ocala, Florida (October 1, 2006) - Twenty years ago, Pumpkin Masters™ introduced the world’s first pumpkin carving kit that made it easy to create intricate, decorative pumpkin designs. This innovative product changed the way millions of Americans celebrate this long-lived Halloween tradition.
“Millions of pumpkin carvers look for the newest Pumpkin Masters products and tools to continue to amaze their family and neighbors with their masterful jack-o-lanterns,” said Gay Burke, President of Pumpkin Masters. “With our carving products, any consumer can create intricate jack-o-lanterns. Using Pumpkin Masters products has become a family tradition.”
Today, Pumpkin Masters continues the tradition of innovation with a diverse product line that includes carving kit assortments, power carving tools, kids’ activity kits, lighting products, and more. The company employs a dedicated team of product developers, designers and manufacturing specialists who develop and test numerous concepts each year.
“I bought my first Pumpkin Masters carving kit in 1986 and it changed the way I carve pumpkins forever! No more 'triangle nose and eyes’ pumpkins for me,” says Gene Granata, founder of Masterpiece Pumpkins. “Now, I carve 100-200 amazing theme pumpkins each season for customers worldwide and can't wait to see what designs Pumpkin Masters releases each year. I'm hooked!”
Pumpkin Masters’ consumers are loyal and they help inspire every new generation of pumpkin carvers. To maintain a high level of consumer loyalty, Pumpkin Masters tracks seasonal trends in carving, design, home décor and merchandising. The company also has dedicated resources for listening and responding to all consumer inquiries.
Understanding consumer needs and seasonal trends provides inspiration for new products such as Power Master™ Power Poker and Saw, an all-in-one power carving tool with interchangeable attachments. It also enables Pumpkin Masters to continually rejuvenate its traditional pumpkin carving products with new features and designs.
Over the past 20 years, Pumpkin Masters has evolved from a single carving kit company to America’s Favorite Halloween Brand with an assortment of products and national media appearances. Sticking to its’ own traditions, Pumpkin Masters will spend the next 20 years sharing unique carving designs and demonstrations with each new generation of families.
