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, 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, where 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.” - Alan Wheatley, President
With this combination of great people, innovative products and an
unyielding customer focus, HandStands is poised for another 25 years of
market leadership – and beyond!
