Welcome to Splash-Guard: ​Our Story, Our Mission, and Our Commitment to You

​In the world of restaurant operations, cleanliness and efficiency are not just ideals—they are necessities. At Splash-Guard, we understand the challenges faced by restaurant owners and managers as they strive to maintain safe, sanitary workspaces for their teams and guests. As you explore our website and consider how we might work together, we invite you to learn more about our history, the values that drive us, and the ways in which we strive to support businesses like yours.

Our Origins: A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Family

The roots of Splash-Guard run deep in the tradition of American ingenuity and family enterprise. Our journey began with H & L Construction Co. Inc, in 1977 by Ralph, whose vision was to build a company that stood for quality, reliability, and direct connection with its clients. H & L Construction thrived in commercial cabinetry construction, producing work that was both functional and artistic. In 1997, the stewardship of H & L Construction passed to Dean, marking the start of a new chapter for the company. Under Dean’s leadership, the business deepened its commitment to the commercial cabinetry sector, delivering solutions that adapted to the evolving needs of restaurants, retail spaces, and other commercial environments. The passion for innovation and excellence was always present, but it was the dynamic, real-world challenges facing restaurants that inspired our next evolution.

Listening to Our Customers: The Birth of Splash-Guard

As the restaurant industry grew and changed, so did its demands. In 2016, we encountered a rising concern among restaurateurs—a need for products that could keep kitchen workspaces cleaner, more sanitary, and better protected against cross-contamination. Our team listened attentively as restaurant owners described the daily hurdles they faced in maintaining spotless prep areas and ensuring the safety of both staff and guests. Rather than simply responding with temporary fixes, we devoted ourselves to developing a solution that would truly address the core issues. Thus, Splash-Guard was born: a product crafted with the needs of modern restaurants in mind, providing a practical, effective barrier to help contain messes, facilitate cleaning, and ultimately elevate the standard of food safety. Since its inception, Splash-Guard has become more than just a product, it has become a partner to hundreds of restaurants, supporting their mission to serve their communities with excellence.

Innovation Through Feedback: The Power of Partnership

One of the aspects we value most at Splash-Guard is the voice of our customers. From our earliest days, we have believed that the best ideas come from those who use our products every day. Over the years, we have received invaluable feedback from restaurant teams across the country, each suggestion helping us to refine, expand, and perfect our offerings.​ Our commitment to responsive innovation means that when you choose Splash-Guard, you are not just purchasing a product—you are joining a collaborative partnership. We welcome your questions, ideas, and insights, and we are always eager to hear how we can continue to serve you better.
