Springville Utah Business Soars High Under Young Leadership

Business of the Month March 2007

In its sixth year of business, Namifiers LLC has burst onto the manufacturing scene by either doubling or tripling company revenues every year since its founding in 2001. Not only is a 200% growth curve a rarity, but this multi-million dollar company is run by five executive officers, each of which is under the age of 30, with an average age of 26.

Namifiers LLC, formerly the The Nametag Source LLC, was founded by CEO and President Bryan L. Welton at the age of 23. At the time, he sold custom engraved name tags, plaques, and gifts out of a 10′×10′ basement office. Bryan immediately employed a youthful and aggressive business model that incorporated new products and processes, perfected them, and thrived on high principles of Customer Service. The company earned recognition for successfully pioneering the promotional industry with same-day production and online ordering of personalized products.

The rapid growth necessitated moving the business four times within Utah County to accommodate more machinery and inventory, all of which Bryan bootstrapped without partners or investors. In February of 2006, The Nametag Source LLC moved into its current 80,000 square foot facility in Springville, UT. Shortly thereafter, his young executive team planned and implemented a corporate name change to Namifiers LLC, in order to better reflect expanding product lines of printed vinyl banners, t-shirts, and embroidery among others.

Namifiers LLC is currently a national leader in the identification and promotional industries and is nestled right in the heart of Utah County. They are now 50,000 clients strong, including services to over half the Fortune 500 companies. Projections for 2007 include an increased focus on local business relationships and community sponsorships, in addition to the already established national market.
