Randolph Engineering

Specialties

Randolph Engineering products are famed for their quality and durability. Each pair of our sunglasses goes through more than 200 production stages — mostly by hand. We even make our own solder flux. As a result, our frames provide unequaled strength and solder joint integrity.

In our drive for superior quality, we scour the world for the best components and special alloys — with tight molecular structure to eliminate rusting and oxidation. We do not compromise quality even when selecting something as trivial as a lens screw. Our nose pads are made of soft silicone to prevent the frames from slipping, even during heavy perspiration. While fashion may fade in and out of the marketplace, the quality found in Randolph Engineering products will never go out of style.

We feel so strongly about the quality of our products that we will repair or replace any broken solder joint for the lifetime of the frame (assuming normal use). That is one of the many reasons we call ourselves «serious equipment».

All of our lenses absorb 98−100% of harmful ultraviolet rays and allow a range of 12−18% of visible light to pass through; the ideal comfort level for most wearers. Our mineral glass lenses are exceptionally scratch-​resistant, and will provide you with absolute distortion-​free clarity. They’re also precision ground and chemically tempered for impact resistance that exceeds ANSI Z-​803 standards.

History

Established in 1972.

Randolph Engineering, Incorporated was founded in 1972 by Polish immigrants, Jan Waszkiewicz and Stanley Zaleski. They met a decade before while working at a small tool & die company in South Boston. In pursuit of the American dream they ventured out to start their own business in Randolph, MA. The two entrepreneurs built tooling, dies and machinery for the then thriving US optical manufacturing industry. Through determination and a tireless work ethic Randolph Engineering became one of the leading optical tool & die companies in the country.

Today Randolph remains an iconic brand accelerated by a growing demand for genuine, well-​made products with a strong American heritage. Tried and true manufacturing methods are maintained using the machinery and tooling created by the founders. Randolph Engineering, Inc. is still owned and operated by three generations of the Waszkiewicz and Zaleski families along with a highly skilled and dedicated American workforce.
