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 have 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 our 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, we began to plan the next quality line that Zim's 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 our 50 + years in the Arts & Crafts Industry, many people have now become familiar with the Zim's name and our consistent dedication to quality, creativity and service.

Zim's now has three generations of Zimmerman family members working to insure that our customers are always pleased with both our service and our products. We have many wonderful employees who are like family and without whom our efforts would be fruitless. We have real facilities rather than an order-taking kiosk in cyber space and we welcome any visitors to Utah to pay us a visit. We guarantee you will enjoy what you find.

Zim's wonderful lines of products are available through many dealers from coast to coast and more join us every year. We invite dealer inquiries on any lines and we are more than happy to provide names of dealers to collectors or consumer customers in their respective areas.

We appreciate your interest in our elves and for an additional treat, be sure to inquire about our wonderful nutcrackers, smokers and ornaments, also available at fine dealers from coast to coast.
