About Bummis
Bummis was started by mothers using cloth
diapers on their own babies. At that time, there was a serious lack of
good quality, affordable diaper covers on the market. So we set out to
fill that niche - designing products that would work on our own babies.
Fifteen years later we are still a company owned by mothers! We have
grown and changed a lot (as have our babies), but our focus is the same:
We
believe that good quality, easy to use and affordable diaper covers
make it easy to use cloth diapers. We encourage parents to use cloth
diapers because of the many benefits to be had in terms of health,
cost, and the environment. For more information on this issue, please
see why cotton?
In May 2000
Bummis bought a small company called Kozy Kids, owned and operated by
yet another business-mother. This is how we acquired the Kokkoon. We
fell in love with the Kokkoon for the utter practicality of the product
and its excellent design. Best of all is that Kozy Kid's owner and
designer (Shirley Murdock) is now a part of our team.
As
a company we feel a deep and abiding responsibility to our employees
and to our community. We have made a commitment to never manufacture in
a so-called "developing" country, although our costs would be lower and
our prices even more competitive. Instead we pay our sewers well for a
job well done. We have created a calm and pleasant atmosphere in our
factory, one in which we all love to work. Our outside contractors are
paid a living wage, and treated with the respect they deserve. Not only
is this what we believe as managers and business owners, but it makes
sense in the long run because our employees and contractors are the
strong base of our success. Bummis is based in Montreal, Quebec.
