Our founder, James H. Henry, began his career in creative recognition in 1938. Initially, by providing class rings to high schools across the mid-west, his passion for artistic design in jewelry and excellence in customer service was born.

Upon returning from military service in 1945 as an Air Force Lieutenant in Great Britain, he opened a small jewelry manufacturing facility in downtown Chicago with his partner, Doc Morgan.

In the mid-1950s, the manufacturing facility relocated westward from downtown Chicago to St. Charles, Illinois.  Later, in 1974, the company incorporated and the new name Jim Henry, Inc. was firmly established.

Primarily due to his efforts, it has been our privilege to serve many prestigious international and national medical organizations, associations, and corporate customers for several consecutive decades. In 2000, Henry retired after 62 years of excellence, showcasing his exceptional entrepreneurial spirit and passion for creating a better recognition experience for his customers.

Today, the St. Charles facility continues the tradition of service, working closely with our customers to artistically design and produce recognition products that go far beyond client and industry expectations. The combination of technology, fine materials, and craftsmanship produces exceptional quality that we trust will make your recognition experience truly memorable.
