JAMESBURG, N.J.—At just 15 years old, Nick Orlandino got his start in the adult industry unloading trucks for Forum Novelties in New York and worked his way up to General Manager. These days, Orlandino is the CEO of Pipedream Products, one of the largest manufacturers of adult novelties, gag gifts and pleasure products in the world.
Along the way, Orlandino created the Adult Novelty Manufacturers Expo in 1996, where he ran the industry's largest business-to-business tradeshow for the next 10 years. In 1999, he was named to the board of directors for the Free Speech Coalition, where he served as treasurer for four years. Orlandino is also the founder of the Frank N. Orlandino Scholarship Foundation, which provides tuition assistance for students with financial difficulties.
