With their relationships we plan to enhance our products and services in these counties.”

In reviewing the market with whom we would trust to provide the same level of service that Hallmark provides, we always had customer satisfaction in mind. All our dealings with Wainbee have been positive throughout the years, and we have entrusted them with the care of our customers for years to come. Carol and I have always prided ourselves on going above and beyond for customer service and satisfaction, and we are confident that Wainbee will continue in this tradition that Hallmark has created. Carol and I will be staying on to help integrate our two companies, so while this is not goodbye, we wish to thank all our customers for their continued support since 1984.”
