Empire Labs was founded in 1996 in the San Francisco Bay Area, originally specializing in highly customized, body-safe materials for medical and prosthetic use. Known for its unique methods and lifelike results, the brand quickly gained recognition through word of mouth and later expanded into film and special effects, working with Hollywood productions. In 1997, this expertise led to the creation of the first DIY Clone A Willy kits. Now based in Portland, Oregon, Empire Labs offers easy, affordable, and widely recognized products sold globally, transforming a once complex process into something accessible and fun for everyone.
