Founded in 1976 by Ron Braverman who then purchased, “a very small company that sold adult toys along with gag novelties and rubber fishing items,” <span class="highlight"> Doc</span> <span class="highlight"> Johnson</span> has evolved into the preeminent sex toy brand.</p>
<p>
Since then, the company has grown and evolved from a factory of just 1,500 square feet with 9 employees to a nearby 33,000 square foot location.</p>
<p>
Now the <span class="highlight"> Doc</span> <span class="highlight"> Johnson</span> family employs more than 500 people, occupies over 250,000 square feet, and offers a catalogue of almost 10,000 products.</p>
<p>
Billing itself as “the largest sex toy company in the world,” the company said while business has shifted overseas for some products, the majority of its products are still “Proudly Made in the USA.”</p>
<p>
Another theme that has remained constant in the history of <span class="highlight"> Doc</span> <span class="highlight"> Johnson</span> is an emphasis on nurturing employee relationships. Braverman said, “Many members of our team have been here for over 20 years, some for over 30, and even some from the beginning 35 years ago. Personally, it makes me proud to have a family of people that I look forward to working with every day.”</p>
<p>
In recent years, <span class="highlight"> Doc</span> <span class="highlight"> Johnson</span> noted that has increased its public relations focus to include a dedicated marketing department, and has also brought its entire art department in-house.</p>
