Springville, UT - September 10, 2008
New York’s Inc Magazine shelled out fresh honors to Namifiers, a U.S.-based manufacturer of identification and promotional items, in the newly released Inc 5000 rankings. Namifiers pulled top honors in Manufacturing for the state of Utah, while placing 12th nationally and 588th overall in revenue growth. The 2008 rankings take into consideration the percentage of revenue-growth for private companies in America during the years of 2004 through 2007. In its second year being named to the list, Namifiers bettered their overall position by 129 spots over last year’s rankings, posting an impressive 551% growth curve in the eligible four fiscal years.

The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy - the entrepreneurial part, said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media.
Namifiers is the foremost producer of identification and branding products to businesses and consumers throughout North America. With over 70,000 customers, they have established themselves as a one-stop super shop where purchasers can custom order items like name tags, signs, company apparel, awards and giveaways while receiving the most direct service and pricing available.
At the helm for Namifiers is CEO / Founder Bryan Welton Jr. Welton, age 31, started the business out of his home in 2001, providing custom engraved plaques, tags, and gifts to clients in and around the Utah region. Bryan was passionate about the potential of e-commerce, and this spurred on his pioneering efforts to take personalized products to the Internet. The resulting interest was astounding, so Bryan took the entrepreneurial plunge and invested everything he had (on multiple occasions) to expand their operations and optimize their efficiency. Today, Namifiers completely overshadows its microscopic beginnings, working with thousands of tons of plastic, metal, vinyl and textiles each year.
One signature element to the Namifiers model is their tenacious same-day production mentality for in-house services of digital printing, screen printing, engraving, embroidery and other forms of custom fabrication.
When we started Namifiers seven years, competitors held no value for same-day service, considering it a moot point to bust your tail in behalf of the customer, especially since status quo said that speed wasn’t the customers #1 priority, says Welton. To us, speed isn’t just about putting in extra hours at work; it’s an attitude of over-performing for your clients.
Headquarters for Namifiers is an 80,000 square foot facility located in Springville, UT. Their clientele ranges from small groups to some of the largest corporations in the world. They are joined on this year’s Inc 5000 list by 82 other companies from Utah. Other similar honors for Namifiers include its selection to the Utah Business Fast 50, the UV50 Fastest Growing Companies in Utah Valley, the 2007 Inc 5000 List and the Mountain West Capital Network Utah 100 List.
