Awards Made in America

American-Made Awards with Purpose

We don’t just sell awards—we design and manufacture them.

Unlike most trophy companies and award retailers in the U.S., we aren’t resellers. Many awards sold online are sourced through distributors, who purchase from overseas factories. That model often comes with risks: shipping delays, tariffs, inconsistent availability, and limited design flexibility.

At Rivanna, we take a different approach.

We design and manufacture all of our custom awards, plaques, and corporate gifts in-house at our facility in Henrico, Virginia. Our production model gives you direct access to original, American-made recognition products—with consistent quality, reliable timelines, and full supply chain transparency.

Whether you're managing a long-term award program or organizing a one-time event, we ensure continuity year after year—without surprises.

Sustainable Materials. Domestically Sourced.

We use responsibly sourced materials—including hardwoods, bamboo, recycled content, and glass—most of which are sourced within the U.S. This not only supports domestic suppliers and reduces transportation impacts, but also ensures traceability and quality throughout the process.

Our 10,000 sq. ft. facility houses both a woodshop and a production space. In the woodshop, our team cuts, sands, and finishes every component with care. In production, we engrave, assemble, and pack each order with precision—ready to ship nationwide.

Why We Keep It In-House

We’ve been doing this for over twenty years, and though we’ve explored alternatives, we’ve always returned to our core values—keeping manufacturing close to home for three key reasons:

1. Supply Chain Clarity

When you work with Rivanna, you know where your awards come from, how they’re made, and who makes them. That’s rare in an industry dominated by offshore manufacturing.

2. Local Job Creation

From day one, our mission has included creating good jobs in our local community. Over the years, we’ve welcomed many legally resettled refugees to our team—skilled individuals seeking opportunity and stability. Though national resettlement numbers have declined, we’re proud of this legacy and remain committed to creating pathways to meaningful employment.

3. Pride in Craftsmanship

There’s something powerful about making something with care—and knowing it will be used to honor someone’s impact. From material selection to engraving, every step is handled by a dedicated team that takes pride in both the process and the purpose.

Recognition Products That Reflect Your Values

When you choose Rivanna, you’re choosing more than just a trophy or plaque. You’re selecting an original, sustainable, American-made award—designed and produced by people who care deeply about their craft, their community, and the planet.
