Former Royal Air Force navigator Jan Waszkiewicz and mechanic Stanley Zaleski both immigrated to the United States with a few bucks and a dream: to make the best sunglasses in the world. In 1973, they opened their factory in the small town of Randolph, MA, just outside of Boston. Armed with an engineering background and some serious skills, they set out to build an eyewear company with bare hands. They built the machines that make sunglasses and created a product specifically for the world's harshest critic: the U.S. Department of Defense. Today, just outside of Boston, you'll find the same machines, the same families, and the same ethics quietly making the world's best eyewear in unexpected ways. Randolph creates eyewear for anyone who desires something better.
