Our display designs are the most spectacular with the brightest colors available in the industry. We constantly test our products to ensure reliability and the uniqueness of their special effects. We visit China to inspect the fireworks factories we use and to work with them to develop our exclusive line of shells and cakes. Our company was started by Kim Schaefer Sr in 1977.
