More about what we do:

Think of an everyday item. The instrument panel in your car, the boards on your deck, your garage door. It probably has a pattern. How did it get there? Who designed it? Where is it made? Does it serve any function other than decoration?

As with the color, shape, or raw materials used in any manufactured product - texture adds value and serves a function. We in turn provide the industry with the tools they need to impart those textures and build or maintain their brand image.
