Vermont Trophy & Engraving has acquired the Engraving Bench and Fine Gifts of Essex Jct as of July 11. Vermont Trophy & Engraving has focused on developing the business-to-business market since Steve and Margi Swett bought the company in 1996. With the purchase of the Engraving Bench they will now add to their company a well established customer base that they will serve with the same professionalism they have with Vermont Trophy customers for years.
“This is a natural expansion for us,” Margi Swett, owner of Vermont Trophy & Engraving said. “As Steve Shover, owner of the Engraving Bench and Fine Gifts is looking to retire. We feel we can easily assimilate his customers into ours pretty seamlessly. Vermont Trophy & Engraving is dedicated to serving the Engraving Bench customers with the same integrity and dedication we have with our own customers all these years,” Swett said.
The Engraving Bench storefront in Essex Junction will close and inventory and equipment will be relocated to Vermont Trophy & Engraving’s location at 566 Hercules Dr, Colchester (Adjacent to Costco).
About Vermont Trophy & Engraving
Vermont Trophy & Engraving was founded in 1959. Margi Swett and her husband Steve (now retired) bought Vermont Trophy & Engraving in 1996 and turned its focus to the business-to-business market. They invested heavily in machinery, advanced software and extremely skilled staff allowing them to use the best technology for each project rather than have a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach.
Key to their business-to-business model is Vermont Trophy & Engraving’s commitment to developing long-term partnerships with its customers. Helping to create unique awards, help out in a time crunch or give a call to remind of an annual event is all part of the process. The company’s motto, “Recognition is Respect Made Visible” is closely followed by a commitment to make customers look good and feel great about their work with Vermont Trophy & Engraving.
Vermont Trophy & Engraving’s loyal customer base includes many companies in Vermont and beyond, universities, government agencies, the military, schools, non-profits and many more. A short list of their products includes custom designed awards, plaques, architectural signs, trophies, crystal, name pins, stone, wood – all done in house.
