HandStands was founded in 1983, and is now comprised of four business units: Consumer Packaged Goods, Electronic Accessories, Promotional Products and e-Commerce.

While over 25 years have passed, the HandStands’ founding principles continue to define who we are, and what we do:  “The customer is King,” says CEO and co-founder Don Watkins, “It’s really that simple.  Once you understand this, everything else falls into place.”

Every HandStands associate abides by the “P.I.P.” principle –Passion, Integrity and Performance.  This shared belief, combined with an absolute focus on the customer, is central to HandStands’ objective of being a leader in every market served.  

HandStands is a principle-based organization, and we stand behind the safety and quality of our products with state-of-the-art quality control systems.  Moreover, with HandStands Sustainability Program, we evaluate the environmental impact of every HandStands product, and implement environmentally-friendly measures wherever feasible.

With this combination of great people, innovative products and an unyielding customer focus, HandStands is poised another 25 years of market leadership –and beyond!
