About Us

CO-FOUNDERS' BACKGROUNDS

Lynda Muller was born in Liverpool, England.  She immigrated to Canada in 1975.  She has extensive experience in production procedures from her work at several large manufacturing companies in both England and Canada.

Gunnar Muller was born in Baie Comeau, Quebec, Canada.  He studied biology and forestry at the University of New Brunswick.  His career began in the Forestry Consulting Business.  After several years he became involved in Sales & Marketing in the Industrial Safety Market.  He worked as a Sales Manager and General Manager for a few different companies until 1987, when he started Lynn Valley Mfg.

COMPANY HISTORY

Lynn Valley was started in 1987 by Gunnar and Lynda Muller.  Initially a "cut & sew" operation, we employed four full-time workers and produced a variety of industrial and recreational products.  Our line increased over the next few years to include belts and suspenders, bug jackets, chainsaw chaps, cold weather shirts, and rain coveralls.

After three years of steady growth, we moved to a larger building, employing eight full-time workers.  We continued expanding our product line adding weight support back belts, bug pants and hoods, and a reflective line of vests, belts, braces, shirts, hats, and armbands.

By 1995 we were again in need of more space and therefore moved our office and manufacturing facility to its present location in the Gravenhurst Industrial Park.  Since our last move, we have discontinued several lines,  focusing on those products that proved most profitable.  This enabled us to offer better variety, quality, and service to our customers for those lines that we continued to make - predominantly belts, suspenders, bug hoods, and reflective accessories.

In 1999, we acquired a unique line of orthopaedic products including cast shoes, stockinettes, and soft goods.  These we now make and sell worldwide.

With the equipment and expertise that we have attained over the years, we also do a considerable amount of custom work.  A client will approach us with a unique requirement they have, and we are able to design, develop, and produce the item(s) to their specifications.

OUR GOALS

In addition to being profitable and providing a comfortable, satisfying lifestyle for ourselves and our employees, (which, in reality, should be the number one priority of any small business owner) we realize that this can only be accomplished by ensuring the following: our customers are treated with the respect, honesty, and reverence they deserve; our products are unique, functional, high quality, fairly priced, and available when our customers want them; we continue to improve - to find new products and ameliorate old ones; to provide solutions to problems; to discover a better way to do something; to offer better service; faster shipping dates; cost cutting; etc.  All of this we continually strive to do by...
