Fredrick Ramond

The Fredrick Ramond Story

Fredrick Ramond was founded by Fredrick Ramond Glassman in 1965 in Cerritos, CA. Starting then, and for more than forty years thereafter, the company gained a reputation for quality hand-wrought iron and other metal work. It was this reputation that eventually garnered the interest of Hinkley Lighting.

In 2007, Hinkley acquired Fredrick Ramond and moved the majority of its operations to Cleveland, OH. By maintaining the same levels of quality and exquisite style for which its name had become synonymous, Fredrick Ramond has become the luxury lighting brand of the Hinkley Lighting family.

A Fun Fact About Fredrick Ramond
