Founded in 1988, R&D Specialty Company began as an advertising specialty firm working with corporations large and small to create effective promotions, employee stores, incentives, corporate gifts and giveaways. Then in 1991, the founders had an idea and a passion to expand and pursue the collegiate market with licensed gifts and novelties. This vision began with two items we designed on an office scratch pad. These very items, the #606 Solid Brass and #607 Polished Chrome License Frames, remain our top sellers and can be found in college bookstores across the country.

Today R&D Specialty has a national base of sales representatives and continues to work with corporations to identify and create the perfect promotional products. Our Collegiate & High School Division has grown from a single item into a product line of 13 categories and more than 600 products. We understand whether you are a corporation, college or high school that the merchandise we create represents your brand and your organization – this is something we take seriously. At R&D Specialty we take pride in the quality of the products we produce and value our customer relationships.

In 2008 we proudly celebrated our 20th Anniversary and while we have expanded over the years there are some things that remain the same…

• After more than 20 years in business we remain family owned and operated
• Our Commitment to our customers…Quality Products, Superior Customer Service, and Prompt Delivery!

If you are one of the many customers we have worked with over the years, we sincerely thank you for your business. If you are a prospective client we look forward to working with you!
