Mountain Kingdom blankets are manufactured by a fourth generation family business in Randfontein, South Africa, near Johannesburg- first opening in 1953 and despite constant growth and improvements, the facility has been in constant operation on the same 17-acre location ever since. Now a fourth generation owned and operated family business, the factory was originally founded in 1950 by Dr. Rodolfo Magni when he and much of his family were forced to flee Italy in the aftermath of world war ii.
