They are the manufacturer of Webkinz, a toy with an interactive virtual-reality Internet site for children.

A private company with headquarters just north of Toronto in Woodbridge, Ontario, Ganz is known as a user of Ty's copyrighted TyTips fabric, which is used for several of the older Webkinz.

The success of Webkinz, first released in 2005, and other similar items helped the fortunes of the Ganz family who then decided to start The Webkinz Foundation.

The Webkinz Foundation was a charitable organization that focused on supporting children's programs worldwide and provided the company with valuable marketing and tax benefits.

On October 2, 2012, Ganz bought Midwest-CBK, a Minnesota based home décor company founded in 1979.
