History

MakerFlo was founded by Marc Pendergraft and John Modi, who started with a small engraving business and recognized the need for affordable, quality gifting products and blanks. They began designing their own products to address high costs in the market. Business started on August 6, 2016, as a sole proprietorship, expanding from single gifts to wholesaling blanks and supplies for customization. It has grown into one of the faster-expanding suppliers in the maker space.
