The Story of Graco Graco is one of the world s best known and most trusted juvenile products companies. Learn about our history and where we re heading.. Graco australia In the Beginning In 1942 Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products in Philadelphia PA. For 11 years the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953 Gray left the firm leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products. But what The answer appeared in the form of David Saint an engineer tinkerer and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint himself a father of 9 was inspired when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Building from this idea he went to the drawing board. A Star is Born 18 months of hard work later the world s first wind-up infant swing the Graco Swyngomatic was born. Graco was in the baby-products business. Everyone knew they had a hit on their hands and an enthusiastic Graco salesman predicted that 10 000 of the swings would sell. But no one predicted that Graco would sell not 10 000 but millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years becoming one of the world s leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. From then on whatever category it entered Graco set the standard the firm s Pack N Play Portable Playards designed by Nate Saint the son of the Swyngomatic s inventor was introduced in 1987 and achieved the same kind of success as Graco s wind-up swings. The Pack N Play is now found in millions of homes across North America. Graco raised the bar further when it introduced the Travel System the first product that allowed you to quickly click a car seat into and out of a stroller making life easier for mom and dad by allowing them to move a sleeping infant from house to automobile to stroller without waking the little one up.
