We are proud
of our 83 year family business embracing three generations. John
Brandi Sr. founded the John Brandi Company in 1922.
He established the company as a leading importer of religious
prints from Europe. The original location was 22 Barclay
Street in lower Manhattan.
John
Brandi Jr. joined the company after serving as a naval lieutenant
during World War II. He moved the company to Yonkers,
New York. New items were added to the product line.
Such products as prayer cards, plaques, certificates
and bookmarks became part of the John Brandi line.
In
1987 Joanne Brandi joined the company. Her former
career had been in nursing. She is responsible for
relocating the warehouse to its current location. Framed
tapestries, 8-up micro-perforated cards (used in the funeral
industry), posters, key rings, magnets, mouse pads, 3-D
cards, greeting cards and display units were further additions
to the merchandise being offered.
Like
her grandfather and father before her, Joanne continues
to serve her customers with timely and innovative products
at competitive prices. |
