GIBSON AND DISNEY BRING JOY TO TABLETOP:
Partnership "Built on Dreams" to Debut in 2005

(Los Angeles, CA) - "A dream is a wish your heart makes," sang Cinderella.

Gibson is pleased to announce a partnership built in large part on dreams: a new licensing agreement between the Walt Disney Company and tabletop / housewares leader Gibson USA.

When Walter Disney climbed aboard Santa Fe's California Limited during the summer of 1923, he carried with him a vision: to delight children and adults around the world.


Likewise, Gibson's own dream of bringing happiness to consumers - and prosperity to retailers - has propelled the small family business to a leadership position as the nation's number one creator of casual, everyday dinnerware.

In 2005, happy notions of a better world come together to create an exciting new line featuring the cast of characters already beloved the world over. Consumers can look forward to an extensive line of ceramics, glassware, flatware, silicone, tea kettles, giftware and accessories featuring Mickey, the lovable Winnie the Pooh, the princess characters and many more.

Says Vice President of Marketing Sal Gabbay: "Beyond the prestige of the Disney name, we are pleased to partner with a company that has many deeply held values in conjunction with our own. The key for our company has always been the idea of 'accessible happiness.' Disney's wonderful creations, designed for anyone and everyone, are fundamentally compatible with our retail philosophy."

"We are delighted to have been given the opportunity to work with Disney," adds Marketing Director Heike Kremser. "We very much look forward to bringing Disney's goal of a more innocent, happier world to the marketplace."
