80 years. Eight decades. Countless milestones.

2026 marks a monumental milestone for LaFrance Corporation as we proudly celebrate 80 years of innovation, craftsmanship, and commitment to excellence.

Our story began in 1946 in South Philadelphia, where founder Joseph A. Teti, Jr. recognized an opportunity to combine precision manufacturing with high-quality product branding. What started in the jewelry industry soon evolved into something much greater.

Over the past eight decades, LaFrance has had the privilege of contributing to some of the world's most recognizable products and brands. From nameplates on RCA televisions in the 1950s to iconic Motorola RAZR logos in the early 2000s and today's innovative branding solutions, our history reflects a commitment to evolving alongside the industries we serve.

While much has changed in 80 years, our dedication to quality, innovation, and lasting relationships remains at the heart of everything we do.

This milestone is more than a celebration of our history. It's a tribute to the people, partnerships, and shared successes that have shaped LaFrance into the company it is today.

As we reflect on eight remarkable decades, we look ahead with excitement for the opportunities, innovations, and milestones still to come.

Here's to 80 years of making our mark - and many more ahead!
