Meet some of the people who help keep Reeves International and each of its various brands and departments running smoothly:

Anthony Fleischmann, President

 A New Jersey native with dual U.S. and Swiss citizenship, Tony was raised in Kinnelon, New Jersey and graduated from Montclair Academy and Princeton University (P’78). After college, he completed his military service in the Swiss Army before becoming a commercial airline pilot for SwissAir based in Zurich. Tony returned to the U.S. intending to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. Although he was accepted at Tufts University’s Veterinary College, he deferred when his father, Werner Fleischmann, founder of Reeves International, persuaded him to join the company to assist with the 1984 acquisition of Breyer® Animal Creations®. In the ensuing years, as Reeves International transitioned its business model from that of a distributor of high-end European toys and collectibles to a manufacturer and marketer of proprietary, upmarket brands, Tony’s responsibilities expanded rapidly. In 1998, he purchased the company outright from his family.

Tony loves animals and the outdoors. His interests include animal welfare, animal-assisted therapeutic charities, and children’s education and welfare. Hobbies include running, kayaking, wilderness trekking and packing, horseback riding and aerobatic aviation.
