Taking care of the nation's ballooning needs, US Balloon Manufacturing (USB) makes and wholesales a full slate of the party standby. Also called The Balloon People, the company makes Mylar, foil, and latex balloons with designs ranging from holiday and special occasion to metallic, solids, and pop characters. Personalized helium items are available, as are various inflation and display accessories. Ranked the largest US distributor of wholesale balloons, USB sells its line to party retailers, hospital gift shops, florists, and more, via telephone, fax, or email to customers throughout the US. Launched in 1980 by two former middle school teachers, USB is led by co-founder Michael Isaacs, president and CEO.
