About Us

About Patriot Engraving

Welcome to Patriot Engraving, where passion meets precision. Our story tells a tale of creativity, craftsmanship, and community, fueled by a love for family and a commitment to excellence. From humble beginnings as a hobby business in 2015 to becoming trusted by some of the most recognized names in the industry, we are proud to offer high-quality custom engraved and laser-etched products that leave a lasting impression.

Our Journey

It all started with a spark of inspiration in 2015. What began as a sandblasting hobby quickly expanded into powder coating and led to the purchase of our first laser in 2017. Today, we own three lasers and have worked with prominent companies and organizations such as ExxonMobil, Texas Department of Emergency Management (TDEM), Ancira Salsa, Scott Morales Catering, Beumer Group, AIT Worldwide Logistics, Nayo Fence & General Services LLC, Reliance Aircraft, St. Mary’s Catholic School Taylor, and the Taylor International BBQ Cook-Off, to name a few. Whether crafting personalized gifts or creating intricate corporate designs, our dedication to quality and customer satisfaction remains unwavering.
