Enesco forms a subsidiary in Carlisle, England, establishing an important link in Enesco’s growing worldwide network.

NC Cameron, founded in 1927, evolved from a company primarily seen as a china supplier to a company with an outstanding reputation for their diverse selection of giftware and their countrywide network of gift retailers.

A line of gifts that tell the story of Growing up in today’s world. Young, active, and athletic boy and girl figurines area created for children to identify with and enjoy collecting.

The Heritage Village collection continued to grow with the addition of the hustle and bustle of Christmas in the City® and the inspiring Little Town of Bethlehem™.

The New England Village Series and The Alpine Village Series® were added to The Heritage Village Collection. That same year, the world of Snowbabies™ bisque figurines was introduced.

Enesco International (Hong Kong) Ltd., the company’s first overseas operation was started. The move was a strategic step, strengthening Enesco’s distribution network in Asia.

The concept of The Heritage Village Collection® was developed. The first release was The Dickens’ Village Series®, a collection of seven nostalgic shops and a church. All designed to capture the spirit of Christmas in Victorian England.

Beginning as a small antique shop in Boyds, Maryland, Boyds Collection Ltd. introduced whimsically unique teddy bears, floppy-eared hares and other friends in the true, old-world teddy making tradition.

Enesco introduces Precious Moments. Based on a greeting card with an inspirational message and drawing of teardrop-eyed children, the porcelain bisque figurines become a phenomenon unmatched in the giftware market. In 2004, PMI became its own Company.

The foundation of Department 56 took shape with the introduction of six charming, lighted, ceramic buildings. These six premiere items were the beginnings of The Original Snow Village®.
