Cannon’s two new licensees are Pem America (for fashion bedding, sheets, blankets, throws, down alternative utility bedding and window) and Blue Ridge Home Fashions (for natural fiber and down utility bedding).

Both licensees will design, manufacture and distribute Cannon products across their respective categories. The territories for the Pem America agreement are the U.S., Canada and Mexico, while Blue Ridge Home Fashions will have the Cannon license for the U.S. and Canada.
