Happy Heinys Owners Win San Diego Award

Family Owned and Closely Operated Business Awards

San Diego, Calif.- Jan 5,2010

Happy Heinys, one of the largest manufacturers of modern reusable cloth diapers, is proud to officially announce that they have been selected to be a recipient of the Honoree Awards for the San Diego Family Owned and Closely Held Business Awards.

“This is a very special award for Happy Heinys and the owners and family members who work with us to receive,” states Linda Byerline CEO. “This company was founded due to the medical needs of youngest child Sarah who was born prematurely. When the decision to take this originally small home business and turn it into a full fledge “real” business was made, it was made on the principles that family and local businesses were most important.” Happy Heinys has strived to continue with those same principles today, 8 years later. As other similar businesses are taking their manufacturing over-seas to China, Happy Heinys owners refuse to follow suit stating, “the lack of quality control when product production is out of your hands is next to zero. It is well known that the USA tends to produce higher quality goods and it is our desire to manufacture only the highest quality reusable diaper we can,”  explains Byerline.
