Honorcraft History

In 1961, Ed Rapoport decided to put his creativity to work and with one engraving machine and a tremendous amount of energy, founded Honorcraft Incorporated. We have spent the last 45 years inspired by his work ethic and his integrity. He taught us that we must work, every day, to take care of our clients. That means that we keep our promises to deliver on time and we work hard to exceed your expectations with every piece that we create.

He began by making standard plaques for the college bookstore market, which led him to university fundraisers and then to healthcare fundraisers. In the meantime, he discovered that awards are a big part of any sales recognition program and that they are important in many other areas within the corporate world, as well. In branching out into new territories, we learned about new products and the technology required in creating them.

We now have several state of the art computer operated engraving machines and laser engravers. An experienced craftsman operates each machine so that each award is in some way, created by hand. We have 3 hydraulic presses to produce our medallions, but each medal is finished by hand, because it is the only way to achieve the desired finish. We also produce massive wall displays using a combination of craftsmanship and technology. It is a great marriage of old world skills and the efficiency of modern machinery. We achieve all of this in one facility so that we can control quality and scheduling.

After 45 years of planned growth, we remain a privately held company, so that we only have to answer to our clients. This allows us to do the same things that Ed taught us, just on a larger scale. We now have sales offices in Chicago and New York so that we may better serve other areas of the country.

We maintain our high level of quality and service by attracting dedicated people who believe in our mission and who are committed to helping us continue Ed Rapoport’s tradition of hard work and honesty.
