Cedarworks was founded in 1981 in Rockport, Maine as a regional manufacturer of swing sets, playsets and other backyard wood structures. Duncan Brown purchased the company in 1988 after gaining experience in manufacturing and sales in the woollen industry.
In 1989, the business became a family affair. While Duncan worked to expand the company's manufacturing and sales functions, Duncan's wife, Susan, assisted in the marketing and general management of the business, and helped develop CedarWorks' absolute commitment to customer satisfaction. Their son, Barrett, joined the business in 1997 and was named president in 2000. He has continued the commitment to superior customer service, and building the strongest, safest playsets on the market that offer more ways for kids to have fun.
While CedarWorks' headquarters is still located on the beautiful coast of Maine, many other things about our company have changed. CedarWorks' product line has grown from two basic climbing structures to five play system product lines with 15 structures and numerous accessories. Sales have also expanded greatly and CedarWorks now sells swing sets and furniture to families in all 50 states and 20 foreign countries.
We donate 10% of our profits to organizations and efforts that benefit children and the environment. Which means that if you end up choosing one of our swing sets, you will be contributing to a better future for your family in more ways than one.
One such effort is our own CedarWorks ReCedaring program, which has to date distributed more than 400,000 cedar seedlings to customers, woodlot owners and environmentally concerned groups.
