What do we make?

We make plaques, trophies, medals, name bars, tags and plates, memorials and other recognition products. We offer a wide variety of metal finishes and engraving material options, and the majority of our metal products are made onsite, hand-buffed and hand-painted to produce quality artisanal products for our customers.

What is inside our London, Ontario facility?

Everything we need to take an award from idea to finished product is under one roof:

  • A foundry that produces sand cast and centrifugally cast metal works
  • An engraving department
  • A resident Graphic Artist
  • A Mould-Maker
  • An electroplating line

See each step in more detail on our virtual tour of the facility.

Who do we make awards for?

Our team knows that everything we touch will become a source of pride for someone else. We are honoured and humbled to be chosen as the recognition partner for so many important and respected organizations in Canada and around the world.
