Kencraft got its start in 1969 in the home of Ken and Marlene Matheson when their handmade panoramic Easter eggs and icing decorations were an instant hit with friends and neighbors throughout northern Utah. In 1974, the company gained national recognition at a tradeshow in Chicago and the home-based business quickly outgrew its capacity. With orders flooding in, Kencraft moved into a manufacturing facility in Alpine, Utah, at the base of the majestic Wasatch Mountains, where the company remains. In 1994, Kencraft was purchased by a privately held company, Alpine Confections, that added financial and management strength along with new ideas and products. This infusion of talent and capital has spurred Kencraft into new markets resulting in the company expanding its manufacturing and sales into Europe, Mexico and Asia.
