AT FIR ST SIGHT
At first sight it’s a gorgeous pair of
glasses. It’s an American-born heritage
and a process that has been refined
and honed over four decades. It’s a
brand culture built on timeless styles
that transcend trend, and represent
the finest quality. It’s craftsmanship
you can trust and we can stand firmly
behind. It’s unbridled potential. At first
sight, it’s love.

A MER IC A N BOR N
In 1972, two engineers emigrating from Poland opened an
optical tool and machinery factory in Randolph, Massachusetts.
With a tireless work ethic and determination, they transitioned
the company to an elite eyewear manufacturer, eventually
winning contracts with the US Air Force to produce military spec
aviator sunglasses. As the demand for quality, American-heritage
products increased, Randolph Engineering—a leading tool
maker in the thriving eyewear manufacturing industry—rose
to the occasion. The company progressed to the retail market,
introducing the Randolph brand with a full line of eyewear. The
machinery and tooling, built by hand four decades ago is still
utilized in our factory today.
Today, we remain a family owned and operated company, three
generations later. Our founders’ legacy of integrity, hard work
and respect—for our team, our community and our environment
—has shaped every one of our brand initiatives and our brand
culture as a whole.

The Randolph brand is not just about
creating the finest crafted eyewear. It’s
about seeing the bigger picture and
acknowledging that though “Made in
the USA” makes a difference, made well
in the USA makes the biggest difference.
It’s about having the foresight to know
that it’s not just a pair of glasses, it’s
a promise—to remain invested in our
country, our artisans and our heritage.
Randolph is the iconic American
eyewear manufacturer.

OUR PROCESS
Attention to detail is an understatement when it comes to describing our product
and our process. It is a labor of love. Every single pair of Randolph glasses goes
through more than 200 production stages. This is the only way we can ensure
unequaled strength and durability as well as joint integrity. We combine the
craftsmanship of yesterday with the technologies of today to render comfort and
style harmoniously.
All of our metal frame glasses are designed, developed and handcrafted
here in the US by one of the finest teams of trained artisans. For us, there
are no shortcuts and quality is never ever compromised—down to the smallest
detail. Even our 23K gold plating is beyond the industry standard thickness.
In fact, we go above and beyond both industry and military standards, in every
aspect, for the finest quality every time.
“When it comes to aviators, we’re usually interested in two qualities—
understated design and authenticity. Randolph features both.”

Our designs are rooted in form following function—our product line demonstrates
the perfect marriage of comfort and style. We differentiate ourselves from the
competition because we remain distinctive and sophisticated. We rise above trend
to define the very best classic, timeless look. With a variety of customizations,
you can choose size, finish, lens features, and temple design. Any time, any outfit,
Randolph glasses will complement your character—speaking volumes about who
you are. It is a statement that goes beyond just appearance.
With Randolph, you are combining great taste with great values. In addition
to our hand crafted metal collections, we design and develop eyewear using
high-grade acetates and other plastic compounds typically not found in the
USA. These products are manufactured by our supply partners in Italy and
other regions of the world under our close supervision. Final assembly, quality
inspection, packaging, and fulfillment for ALL our products are handled by our
factory and distribution center in Randolph, Massachusetts, USA.
