The Wreath Factory has grown success for 27 years in its Plymouth, WI location. Now owners Michael Beeck and Jeff Buser have attracted national clients.

Bass Pro Shops and Frontgate have placed orders for a collection of exclusive, custom holiday designs created specifically for these high-end catalog/online marketplaces. Summer season decor is already being ordered online, and plans proceed to offer year round selections.

The Wreath Factory’s sister business, Otter Creek Landscape, has been targeted by Modern-Shed, a Seattle based firm, to represent their prefab building systems in Wisconsin. This newly-gone-national firm selected Otter Creek for its award winning landscape designs, a complement to Modern-Shed’s architecturally sleek structures.

The Mixx Design Centre in Sheboygan has also found a national sponsor. VandM.com, an online marketplace featuring antiques, furnishings, art and collectibles included The Mixx in it’s exclusive roster of 160 international vendors of unique objects and artifacts. The Mixx partners with Otter Creek Companies.

The Wreath Factory owner Jeff Buser is the company’s wholesale sales manager: “I am thrilled at the response these national companies have shown to our product. It underscores the years of enthusiastic, loyal support we have received locally, and rewards the talents of our team with significant recognition.”

Intensive marketing and refinement of design are credited with securing new markets at a time when many businesses are struggling. All products are created in Plymouth, WI at The Wreath Factory’s original location, which includes showrooms, garden center, a sample Modern-Shed and landscape facilities. A second retail location occupies three storefronts in downtown Menasha, WI.

The Wreath Factory was developed in 1983 to provide fresh evergreen wreaths for local fundraisers. Owners Michael Beeck and Jeff Buser have grown it into Otter Creek Companies, which include The Wreath Factory of Plymouth and Menasha, Otter Creek Landscape, Pots on the Spot and The Mixx Design Centre, a partnership with Wendy Bemis. The Mixx Design Centre is a repurposed auto showroom, with 6000 square feet of displays.
