Connecticut in 1898. Adolph Gund retired in 1925 and sold the company to
Jacob Swedlin. Swedlin then passed the company to his daughter and her
husband, Rita and Herbert Raiffe. The company remained in their family until
2004 when Jim Madonna took over. This is the first time it has been run by
someone outside the family. Gund under stuffs its toys leading it to be
known as the world's most huggable stuffed toy. Gund started many safety
standards for the toy industry. Gund was the first company to make a musical
