Longtime industry salesman and company founder, Roy Brewer with wife Shirley Jean, at the 2005 Las Vegas show.  The Brewers have lived in the Dallas/Ft Worth metroplex since 1973, close to their three children and six grandchildren.

While teaching school in Oklahoma,  Roy took an evening job sanding trophy bases for an awards manufacturer.  Later, he formed a partnership with his previous boss, Keith Keeley and Metalcraft Mfg. Co. Inc. was born. MMCI manufactured metal trophy columns and synthetic bases.  This venture was later purchased by a local entrepreneur, Joe Van Donge, which turned Roy free to go into sales full-time: first, with  F.H. Noble & Co.; then, with Dodge; and then he spent twelve years with Freeman products.

Roy's position with Freeman Products was as an independent representative which allowed him to carry non-competitive lines.  The first equipment to be "picked up" was the AutoMark (the original trophy typewriter), later the Xpress (the original sublimation machine) and finally PC-based computerized engraving systems.

During the following years, Roy sold engravers for H Square, Dahlgren and Newing-Hall before signing on with Xenetech in 1992. 

The opportunity came to distribute Epilog's laser systems in 1991, after the first (hardly successful) stab at selling laser engravers with Melco in 1989.
