Zim's was founded by Cliff & Eleanor Zimmerman over 50 years ago. Zim's has been very well known as a major pioneer of the Arts and Crafts Industry and has built a reputation in that industry as a most innovative and reliable company.

It was 1995 when Zim's began to produce a charming line of unique nutcrackers and smokers for the Gift Industry and this marked their official entry into this market. For many years prior to this time, Zim's supplied products, raw materials, various components and manufacturing services for many producers of quality gift lines. With four years of successful production and marketing of the Heirloom Collectibles Line, Zim's began to plan the next quality line they would produce.

The Elves Themselves™ were introduced in January 2000 and have become an overnight sensation. With these incredibly successful lines of finished products and 50 + years in the Arts & Crafts Industry, many people have now become familiar with the Zim's name and their consistent dedication to quality, creativity and service.

Zim's now has three generations of Zimmerman family members working to insure that customers are always pleased with both their service and our products.

Zim's wonderful Elves Themselves™ and Nutcrackers are available through Tin 'N' Treasures.
