Pipedream Products Acquires Las Vegas Novelties!
April 5, 2005 (Chatsworth, CA): Since its inception in 1999, Las Vegas Novelties has blazed a trail across the adult toy business, creating memorable and innovative product with top adult stars such as Jewel DeNyle, Ron Jeremy, and ” of course ” the company’s owner, Serenity. But the company is about to be taken to a whole new level, as Las Vegas Novelties has been acquired by adult novelty powerhouse Pipedream Products!
“We’re very excited about this,” says Pipedream COO Nick Orlandino. “This acquisition has afforded us the opportunity to get into the rubber business, which we’ve never been in before. It’s been great working with Serenity and Steve Lane on this whole project. They’ve accomplished a great deal with LVNI, and we look forward to building on their already amazing accomplishments.”
Orlandino started talking with Serenity and Lane ” Serenity’s husband and business partner ” at last year’s Adult Novelties Manufacturer’s Expo about the acquisition, which brought about negotiations in the fall. After finalizing the details in the end of March, both Serenity and Lane felt pleased with the agreement, noting that it benefits all involved.
“We signed with Nick because I would only agree to a deal on any level if it was good for my talent and good for myself and Serenity,” says Lane. “The deal with Pipedream was done because it was a good negotiating period, it was a good deal for us, and a good deal for all and our existing talent. We couldn’t be happier with the arrangement.”
Though the company will now be a part of Pipedream’s growing list of branded lines, such as Seymore Butts Toyz and Red Light District Toys, do Lane and Serenity have plans to stay on in any kind of capacity?
Says Serenity, “Steve and I will be involved in helping Pipedream get up and running on the rubber manufacturing and we’ll always be on board to help out with anything in regards to the line, but this will for sure close a chapter.”
As for the LVNI contract stars, Orlandino says they’re looking forward to developing new products with the talent roster they have available. LVNI contract star Jacklyn Lick is pleased to be working at her new home.
“My run with LVNI was for six years, and I’m really excited to sign another five-year contract with Pipedream,” says Lick. “I’m excited about the acquisition because it was a good move for everyone, and I’m excited to see where Pipedream takes me. We’re in the process of developing a whole new product line for me, so I hope to see a lot of new products come out!”
“This is a nice team to collaborate with, and they’re doing a great job,” says adult industry legend Ron Jeremy. “I like Seymore Butts a lot. He’s in my documentary and I’m in his movies, so that’s a great fit. It’s nice to be on a team that also has Red Light District, Legend and Monica Sweetheart. Having such great people on both sides ” meaning both branded talent and the people behind the company making the product ” makes us the biggest and the best.”
Pipedream will begin shipping Las Vegas Novelties’ current lines immediately. New lines will debut at this year’s ANME.
