    Crafting Recognition Since 1955

    Our Story

    From Downtown Massillon to the World

    It all began in 1955 in downtown Massillon, Ohio, with a simple vision: to craft meaningful recognition pieces that stand the test of time. As demand for our work grew, so did we. In 1987, we moved into our 25,000-square-foot facility and workshop in North Canton — giving us the space to expand our showroom, embrace new technologies, and serve clients across Ohio, the country, and the world.

    Today, our team continues that same mission: make it easy for you to recognize people well—with a smooth path from design proof to delivery and a finished piece you'll be proud to present.

    Our Belief

    Why Recognition Matters

    Recognition is more than a name on a plaque or a logo on an award. It is a lasting way to say, "This mattered." Whether honoring a donor's generosity, celebrating an employee's years of service, commemorating an achievement, or preserving a meaningful document, recognition gives people and organizations a tangible reminder of effort, contribution, and legacy.

    At Massillon Plaque, we believe the best recognition pieces do more than mark a moment. They help tell a story. They connect people to a place, a mission, a milestone, or a memory. That is why we approach every project with care, from the first conversation to the finished piece — because when recognition is done well, it continues to speak long after the presentation is over.

    Our Craftsmanship

    Art in Stainless Steel

    At the core of our business is our world-renowned Art in Stainless Steel technology. Massillon Plaque's own 16-step photo-electroplating process permanently adheres graphics onto stainless steel.

    We can reproduce high-resolution graphics of the finest detail, including half-tone photographs. By electroplating nickel and copper onto stainless steel, our graphics never crack, chip, peel or fade. They are permanently sharp and easy to read, even from a distance.
