Recreation Experience Community Network

The Bear Factory is a worldwide leader in the “build-your-own plush” industry, providing innovative, high-quality plush products to retailers, attractions, and resorts around the globe. As a family-owned company, The Bear Factory focuses on creating memorable guest experiences while remaining committed to sustainability, safety, and environmental responsibility.
The company’s “Plush for the Planet” collection – launched in 2020 – was the first sustainable stuff-a-plush line made from recycled fabrics. The Bear Factory also incorporates environmentally conscious practices throughout its operations and has committed to becoming PFAS-free across its product line by 2026. In addition to award-winning design and innovation, all products are tested to meet U.S. and European child safety standards, helping ensure plush companions that are both safe and built to last.
