Irvine, CA – On March 7, 2022, David Kurrasch, founder of both K-CO Products and The Monkey Hook®, completed the sale of The Monkey Hook's assets to Hillman Solutions Corp. (HLMN). The Monkey Hook, which revolutionized picture hanging with its simple, tool-free design, has become a popular solution in major retailers like The Home Depot, Walmart, and Lowe’s.

This sale allows Kurrasch to focus more on expanding K-CO Products which produces high-quality products like the Little Big Shot® hose nozzle, PRO Power Plunger, and GLÜ, a no-solvent, all-purpose adhesive.

A Strategic Move for Growth

Since 2008, Hillman has been a key distributor for The Monkey Hook in the big-box retail segment, and Kurrasch believes Hillman is the perfect company to take the brand to the next level. "This sale will help Monkey Hook continue to grow with Hillman’s leadership and resources," Kurrasch said.

The remainder of the team, led by Andrew Gardikas, will join Hillman and manage the day-to-day operations moving forward.
