1944

Bergman began his career at the Mercury Ring Corporation, a manufacturer of diamond and bridal jewelry founded by his father in 1944.

1947

Private Brands, Incorporated (PBI) was founded in 1947, focusing on formulating products for various firms serving the farm industry.

1977

Founded in 1977, Gordon Companies Inc. is a family owned-and-operated business located near Buffalo, N.Y. Gordon Companies includes Christmas Central, Christmas.com, Pool Central, Northlight and Dave’s Christmas Wonderland.

When Dave Gordon first went into business in 1977, he had one thing in mind: offering wholesale savings to families in his hometown of Western New York.

1994

One of the most important accomplishments in PBI-Gordon history occurred in 1994, when a leveraged Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) was implemented and acquired a majority ownership position in the company.

1999

In 1999, recognizing the strength that comes with diversification, PBI-Gordon acquired animal and human health product manufacturer Pegasus Laboratories, Inc., and PRN® Pharmacal, Pegasus’ animal health product brand.

2004

With the success of Dave’s retail stores, the Gordon family entered the online retail arena with the launch of ChristmasCentral.com in 2004.

2014

In 2014, David and his son, Nathan, further diversified their company by adding Pool Central – offsetting the seasonality of the Christmas business – and Northlight, a branded wholesale division found in major retailers across the country.

2020

In 2020, Christmas.com was acquired and launched as an online marketplace for holiday decorations and gifts.

In 2020, the organization was restructured with the creation of a new holding company, PBI-Gordon Companies, Inc., to support the organization’s continued growth.
