Among other things, Norman O’Donnell is known for his commitment to “doing things right.” He honed his appreciation for product quality and customer satisfaction during his career with Michelin® Tires.

Upon his retirement as Michelin’s plant manager in Greenville, South Carolina, Norman had more time to enjoy the great outdoors with his beloved hunting dogs. And that got him to thinking…

“Back in the early 1980s, pet owners pretty much built their own dog houses— tossed in an old blanket— and called it home sweet home. I wanted something better for my dogs, but found that pet shops didn’t sell any bedding products.”

So, in 1985, Norman established O’Donnell Industries to manufacture Snoozer™ Pet Products. His original bed design was the “Snoozer Round,” with a washable polyester/cotton outer cover, sturdy brass zipper, and a removable inner liner. It came in three sizes and two colors.

In its first year, O’Donnell Industries employed two persons and achieved sales of $50,000. In 2007, the company employed 30 with sales topping $4.5 million. To learn more,   View Milestones
