About Mammoth Brands
Mammoth Brands (formerly Harry’s Inc.) is the modern CPG company behind brands Harry’s, Flamingo, Lume, Mando, and Coterie. We’re building a new model—and home—brands, founders, and talent looking to solve unmet needs, improve peoples’ lives, and ultimately challenge the status quo. Our mission is “Create Things People Like More.” Simply put: everything we do should be better than what already exists. This guides everything we do, from developing the best product experiences, to making Mammoth Brands a great place to work, to exploring innovative ways to give back to our community. We also care about giving back; we have donated over $20 million through our network of nonprofit partners.
Our journey began in 2013 when our co-founders created Harry's, learning we had built a platform to help other brands grow and scale. Today, Mammoth Brands is a growing portfolio and the largest CPG company built in the last 20 years, yet we maintain a small, entrepreneurial culture that fosters a company people like more, serving customers, employees, and community.
