DEMDACO

For more than 20 years, DEMDACO has designed and sold giftable products intended to “Lift the Spirit”—in times of celebration, when comfort is needed, or just to put a smile on someone’s face. The hand-curated artisan gifts it develops and distributes are chosen for their potential to help people nurture goodness in the lives of others, celebrate family and friends, and encourage people to treat themselves. We partner with artists representing a wide range of styles and mediums, and whose work is consistent with our values. Products are curated through this filter, then carefully reproduced by skilled craftspeople around the world. DEMDACO also maintains a partnership with artist Susan Lordi, offering her popular Willow Tree® sculptures. Based in Leawood, Kansas, the company is named for founders Demi and Dave, who believe that business is not merely a financial endeavor, but first-and-foremost a human endeavor. Mission: Our Mission. At DEMDACO, we strive to lift the spirit in consumers, in each other, and in our communities. Our Vision. We at DEMDACO believe every product creates a conversation. We hope to participate in the meaningful moments of people's lives. We don't create these moments, we aspire to make them a little better: We want to be there in times of Joy, Comfort, and Love. Our Values: We hope to be: a better place to work a better business partner a better supplier to our customers a financially secure organization a better community citizen Our Purpose is to pursue business the way it ought to be - not merely as a financial endeavor - but first and foremost, a human endeavor. Therefore, we try to develop an environment where work is not just a job. Our Mission to Lift the Spirit supports a holistic approach to career that includes opportunities for colleagues to pursue and nurture their personal and community interests in relation to the values we hold dear. We believe there is more to work than bottom lines and deadlines. Our endeavor to Lift the Spirit starts in our own halls, offices, and meeting rooms. If we don't feel a little Joy, Comfort, and Love in the workplace, it will be evident in the products we make and the way we engage with our community.
