ABOUT THE COMPANY

Emerging onto the promotional products scene at a time when the concept of e-commerce and computer-aided design was still just an ill-defined fantasy, The Monterey Company has a long history of adopting and adapting to emergent technologies in order to better our business and improve our service to our loyal customers.

Starting literally from scratch in a spare bedroom in 1988, Company Founder and President Paul Stark has worked tirelessly to build a company that satisfies his business ambitions, but also embodies his casual and untroubled personality. The result? A wildly successful lapel pin company with amazing customers and an incredible team of employees.

The Monterey Company provides a diverse and high quality line of products including lapel pins, custom coins, key chains, and much more. Our unwavering commitment to our customers and customers-to-be is to provide a top-quality product with top-quality customer service. A leader in the industry since 1988, The Monterey Company has emerged as the #1 choice for the discerning customer.
