Description:
We manufacture a high end custom pool table,which was started over 50 years ago by a company by the name of Gandy. Gandy succumbed to a flood they had in the mid 1990's and closed their doors. The General manager of Gandy started American Heirloom Products continueing the supply of the high end tables Gandy started via the internet, selling strictly to the public. American Heirloom closed its doors after 7 years due the declining of the housing market and the massive overhead they had. I was the General Manager of American Heirloom for 6 of the 7 years they were in business. I wanted to keep the tables on the market because they are the best quality pool tables out there today. This is why my partner and I started American Custom Pool Tables. We are manufacturing the tables out of my home at the present time to keep our overhead as low as possible, with the hopes of the market turning around soon. The market will open back up and if we can survive this housing recession we will be one of the very few left to become as large as Olhausen or Brunswick, the two leading manufacturers in the industry. We are in need of financial backing to insure a solid placement in the industry.
