We Are

Adam’s Specialty Products

From our small business park in Neenah, WI, we craft and ship animal enclosure products worldwide. We also deploy service professionals to clean fish tanks and aviaries across the central and eastern United States.

How did we go from a college student’s reptile-housing hobby to a collection of nationally trusted brands?

And what are the next steps in our unrelenting journey forward?

Our

History

Adam’s Specialty Products, LLC (the parent company of Custom Aquariums, Custom Cages, Serenity Aquarium and Aviary Services, and Vision Products) was founded in the basement of a modest college apartment and incorporated in 1998. Why? During this time, “Crocodile Hunter” was famous on TV, so having iguanas, bearded dragons, snakes, and other reptiles as pets was a fast-growing trend. Thus, a childhood hobby turned into a full-time college student’s entrepreneurship.

During the internet’s infancy, we were among the first to offer a website featuring high-quality reptile cages large enough for these pets to live comfortably. Through that simple website, all products were sold, hand-built, and then shipped one at a time, ready for on-site assembly. Our innovative designs launched us to the forefront of the reptile enclosures industry.

From the start, we’ve been a build-to-order company selling directly to end consumers. Because of that direct interaction, we’re constantly learning from feedback to improve and create unique, high-quality products. As a result, over the next 20+ years, we became the number one custom pet enclosure manufacturer in the USA, selling thousands of high-end custom units worldwide annually.

Now, we have over 35 patents and 50,000 square feet of manufacturing space, including our full-fledged woodworking shop and a top-tier glass fabrication facility with equipment better than that of most local glass and cabinet manufacturers. We also employ full-time expert engineers, managers, technicians, welders, and artisans who meticulously handcraft each enclosure, stand, and canopy. Therefore, our in-house capabilities are genuinely second to none.
