TROPICA DESIGNS, LLC
LEHIGH ACRES, FLORIDA

Tropica Design Industries started as Tropica Designs in 2006 as a countertop fabricator. It added outdoor kitchen manufacturing three years later in a 2,000 square foot building in Lehigh Acres, Florida. Robert McClellan started his company due to the recession and his desire to become an entrepreneur in the plastics industry. In 2011, the company expanded to a 6,000 square foot building to increase production in kitchen manufacturing with countertop fabrication that included granite, marble, solid surface, and quartz for the commercial and residential industries. In 2015, Tropica Designs became Tropica Design Industries with the purchase of a 35,000 square foot plant located in Lehigh Acres, Florida. With this new acquisition, the countertop fabrication and outdoor kitchen manufacturing, which is projected to increase ten percent each year for the next five years, has plenty of room to handle the demanding growth. This additional space also provides the manufacturing of many additional custom items that are created from aluminum tubing for the tropical outdoor living industry. The company is known for its personalized and on–time service. Tropica also offers custom outdoor kitchen units, custom fabrication, custom colors, and installation services. The company has become a leader in Southern Florida as the one stop-one shop for all commercial and residential builder needs. Mr. McClellan stands behind his promises for customer satisfaction. Integrity is the key ingredient for his vision of team management for his entire company. The result has been a story of success from the beginning to continued growth for the future.

In 1987, Robert McClellan had a vision which developed into a passion for the plastics industry. R & L Plastics was created. After expanding R & L Plastics for eleven years, it was sold. Robert had the opportunity to expand his management skills by joining Creative Homeworks in 1998 to learn the countertop industry. A few years later, the owners of Creative Homeworks had the opportunity to sell their company to Wilsonart Industries based out of Texas. Robert became the plant manager of this large countertop production facility. His operational skills and management talent at Wilsonart Custom Products led him to again fulfill his desire to have his own company. Tropica Design was created in 2006. Robert’s vision is to provide a work environment where employees desire to have other talented friends join the company. Employees that have passion for their job create products that provide customer satisfaction. Tropica Design Industries is a vision that has become a reality.
