About Us

Throughout our history we have maintained an honest and straightforward way of doing business and consistently uphold the highest standards of design, quality, and construction.  We are proud to continue the tradition of excellence in service and product, holding true to where we have been with a clear vision of where we are going.


Who We Are
Spec-Rite Designs is the North American leader in fabricating solid phenolic furnishings and is the exclusive manufacturer of Design-Tec® Lockers, DesignLine® Cabinets, DesignRite® Partitions, and Durable Designs® Furniture.  Our history began over 40-years ago when we launched production in our St. Louis facility as a recognized phenolic fabricator.  Since that time we have evolved into a sought-after manufacturer.  Today we remain one of the oldest and largest phenolic product manufacturers in the US.

What We Do 
We design and manufacture phenolic products using superior materials by Trespa®, Formica, Pionite, Wilsonart, and many others.  Although we have analyzed alternate materials and construction methods, we have made a conscious decision to adhere to the strictest design standards and fully develop our phenolic product lines around the proven characteristics and capabilities of solid phenolic panels.  Our culture of responsible growth and environmental stewardship ensures we upload these standards without compromising the integrity of our products, services, or operations.

How We Do It 
We inspire world class people to create world class products.  We challenge convention in pursuit of operational excellence.  Our parent company, MHS Legacy Group has roots in the St Louis community dating back to 1895; helping us support customer and vendor relationships spanning over decades.  This level of longevity and stability enables us the opportunity to attract and maintain an extraordinary team of professionals.  Our team of experts in phenolic product design, construction, and precision CNC technology supports the tightest tolerances and the highest standards of quality and consistency.  Our industry-leading stock of phenolic resin panels helps us meet aggressive time lines, even in today's ever-changing and challenging economy.

Who We Serve
We are proud to serve architects, designers, contractors, dealers, distributors, and end users in the education, government, hospitality, recreation, and transportation industries.  Our standard and custom phenolic products are currently installed in facilities across the globe including: Bermuda, Germany, Guam, Italy, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, The United Kingdom, and beyond.
