About Us
Our History
Hodgins Engraving is a third generation, mid-sized family business located in Batavia, NY.
Originally started by John Hodgins as a printing company in 1957, the business has gone through several evolutions since then.
After purchasing a local die-making business together, John sold what would then become Hodgins Engraving to his son Bob in 1983, while continuing his own printing and sign business (Hodgins Printing). At its formation, Hodgins Engraving focused on etching zinc and magnesium dies and offering other die-related services to the printing industry. As printing press technology evolved, Bob expanded into wholesale printing production, adding printing and finishing, as well as rubber stamps and engraved signs, to his list of services.
Most recently, Bob’s daughter Becky Almeter took over as President of Hodgins Engraving Co. in 2017 when Bob retired.
