Celebrating 61 years of Excellence.Delivering Quality Products and Exemplary Service.

A husband and wife living in Corpus Christi, Texas decided to start a stamp works company in 1949. The name was easy enough to find: Corpus Christi Stamp Works. Fortunately, their values, quality and high level of service came just as easily. In 1977, the nephew of the founders, current President Harry Lee Chester, joined their ranks and took the business even further.

“I had started out as a high school biology teacher,” Chester said. “My aunt and uncle courted me into trying my hand at business for a few months, and if I liked it I would stay to take over the reins when they retired. I suppose I’ve really liked it!”

Originally, CCSW specialized in designing and manufacturing standard and custom marking devices for the office environment, such as rubber stamps, date markers and seal embossers. As Chester began to take more of a leading role within the company, he expanded their expertise into new products, as well as developing products and services to cater to the wayfinding and signage system needs of architectural firms.

“While we still provide the same stamp and marking products that we did over half a century ago,” Chester said, “we have grown drastically into not only manufacturing the signage systems that architects rely on so frequently, but also working closely with them with our own project managers to fulfill any contractor or architects wayfinding or signage needs to the fullest.”

Today, Corpus Christi Stamp Works has expanded into two additional offices in Houston, Texas and St. Louis, Missouri, with 44 highly trained employees overall. Their level of quality in their products, their history of the highest level of customer service and their ability to manage any kind of project for their clients have kept CCSW at the forefront of their field.

“Long, long ago, Richter Architects was one of the first clients that gave us the opportunity to work in tandem with them on taking great care of the wayfinding and signage design work for their projects,” Chester said. “We’ve completed projects with them both large and small, and have always ended up with the best design work possible.”
