PROFILE |
 |
American Greetings believes success is in the cards. The #2 US maker of greeting cards (behind Hallmark), the company makes American Greetings, Forget Me Not, Carlton Cards, and Gibson Greetings brand missives. It also produces DesignWare party goods, GuildHouse candles, PlusMark gift wrap, DateWorks calendars, and Designers' Collection stationery. Subsidiaries include Learning Horizons (supplemental educational products), Magnivision (nonprescription reading glasses), and AmericanGreetings.com (online cards). The firm inched closer to catching Hallmark after its 2000 purchase of #3 Gibson Greetings. The founding Sapirstein family owns nearly 6% of the company but controls nearly a third of the voting power.
