Nottingham Spirk 

Nottingham Spirk may not be a household name – but their inventions are likely in your house. Have a Dirt Devil vacuum? Arm & Hammer Spinbrush, Swiffer Sweep + Vac or Sherwin-Williams Twist & Pour™ paint container?  These are just a few of the 1,400 patented products the longest-standing design collaborative in the world has created for clients in the consumer, business and health-care sectors. Founded in 1972 by John Nottingham and John Spirk in a small carriage house, today the two head up a  62,500 square-foot innovation center located in a renovated, 1929 landmark church. Generating more than $50 billion in sales – with a 95% commercialization success rate –  these Cleveland disrupters are global leaders in growth-propelling innovation.
