THE COMPANY: Bradshaw International is a leading marketer of kitchenware products. The company was formed in 1969 as an importer of seasonal housewares and quickly developed a reputation with customers for marketing quality products at competitive prices while maintaining excellent service levels.

THE BRAND: The Good Cook™ brand was launched in 1987, with an operating philosophy of incorporating quality, value and service into every product. The philosophy has helped the company achieve the number one market-share position for kitchen tools and gadgets in the grocery trade. Bradshaw also markets bakeware, cookware, food storage and tabletop products under its Good Cook brand.

In an effort to add value to customers' kitchenware aisles and build the Good Cook brand, Bradshaw International updated the brand's logo, packaging and merchandising vehicles - and began rolling out the new program in January, 2001 with full distribution scheduled by year end. The result is a more contemporary, upscale image, and a consistent powerful presentation at retail.

DISTRIBUTION: The Good Cook brand has captured 43% of the market in drug and grocery stores, far ahead of all other brands in the market. Good Cook Kitchenware products are distributed in over 30,000 U.S. retail store outlets.

HEADQUARTERS: Bradshaw International is based in Rancho Cucamonga, California with offices and a showroom in Hong Kong.
