Mace Engravers

Our company was founded in 1959 by Jerry Baden as Baden's House of Trophies. It has had several names and owners since then, becoming Vermont Trophy & Engraving in 1974. It has for many years been considered the highest quality awards manufacturer in the region. In 1996 we - Steve & Margi Swett ' decided we'd like to try working together curious to see how our marriage and the business model we'd developed through careers in banking, non-profit and economic development would survive and perhaps even prosper. We've been very lucky on both counts! Our plan was to buy a value-added business and focus it on the B2B market by developing long-term partnerships with our clients. Our business model is to offer the finest engraving ' much of it with proprietary techniques - the most advanced technology handled by the most talented, dedicated staff in our industry. We couple that with the highest quality, innovative products and business etiquette which we are terribly distressed to find so rare these days. There are items we engrave which their manufacturers cannot ( Cross and Danforth to name but two. ) We engrave crystal which few engravers attempt and we'd hold ours up to anyone in the industry who specializes in it. Our mission is to find ways to say yes - to be creative in problem solutions - not obstructionist and discouraging. We all answer the phone'there are no menus. There is no production line, just individual production benches used by trained, skilled members of our team.
