Our History 

Springbok Puzzles was founded in 1963 by Robert and Katie Lewin, who revolutionized the jigsaw puzzle industry. Inspired by unique circular puzzles from London, the Lewins designed their own intricate die-cut patterns—making every Springbok puzzle one-of-a-kind. 

Springbok quickly became a favorite among avid puzzlers, known for: 

?Artistry & Collectibility – The Lewins commissioned world-class artists and sourced stunning imagery from museums. 
?Distinctive Shapes & Designs – Circular and octagonal puzzles set Springbok apart. 
?Unmatched Quality – From the beginning, Springbok was synonymous with craftsmanship. 

In 1967, Hallmark Cards, Inc.acquired Springbok, making the puzzles a Hallmark store exclusive for over three decades. Then, in 2002, Allied Products Inc. took over production, preserving the brand’s integrity and quality while expanding its offerings. 

A New Era for Springbok 

In March 2025, Allied Products became part of Allied Brands, a company formed by Open Road Brands and Maple Hill Capital. This transition marks an exciting new chapter for Springbok! 

“We are thrilled to welcome Allied Materials and its brands to the Open Road portfolio,” said Patrick Hayes, President of Open Road Brands. “Springbok’s distinctive puzzle designs and commitment to quality offer tremendous growth opportunities. With strong brand recognition and a loyal customer base, we are eager to elevate this beloved brand to new heights.”
