Nursery Supplies

What Nursery Supplies does

Nursery Supplies operates under the CREO Group (also referenced via parent Raskelf Group), a privately held, vertically integrated manufacturer and distributor headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia with primary operations and an additional facility in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. The group produces household container solutions and horticultural supplies spanning consumer product categories including kitchen organization, laundry baskets, indoor and outdoor waste receptacles, compression bags, plastic storage totes, soft-sided storage, buckets and paint accessories, pet products, and garden and outdoor items, alongside greenhouse and nursery supplies for commercial growing partners.

Core capabilities rest on in-house design, tooling, injection molding, and in-house recycling operations, supported by manufacturing and distribution facilities in Leominster MA, Sardis MS, Kissimmee FL, Little Rock AR, Youngstown OH, and a manufacturing plant in Rio Bravo, Mexico, plus a global sourcing office in Hong Kong and an Innovation Center of Excellence in Troy, MI. The company markets consumer products through owned brands Home Logic, Life is Good, and Mighty Tuff, while distributing household storage products under licensed trademarks from Rubbermaid Incorporated and HMS Mfg. Co. LLC (for the Hefty brand). The group has extended into adjacent nursery/baby products through the 2023 acquisition of Nursery Connections, a baby mattress manufacturer that is currently expanding into the UK with a £2 million Northamptonshire facility.

Revenue mechanics are anchored in high-volume B2B sales of manufactured goods (containers, horticultural supplies, baby mattresses) to retailers, distributors, and commercial growing operations, supplemented by brand license royalties. The company does not publicly disclose pricing, revenue, or unit volumes; no app, API, or digital product layer is present. Customer concentration is bifurcated between Consumer Households (primary segment) and Commercial Growing Partners, with go-to-market executed through the company's own multi-site manufacturing and distribution infrastructure rather than independent channel partners.
