Baron Technology is a well known name in firearm industry, and for good reason. For over 40 years the company’s artisans have been crafting works of art using firearms as their main canvas.
Baron Technology was founded by Frank Baron, with its core mission, “the application of science to the arts.” True to this mission, Frank successfully applied the science of acid etching to 3-dimensional objects, with a focus on the fine art of firearm engraving.
Baron Technology was incorporated on May 20, 1982, and Frank’s son, David Baron, now Chairman of Baron Technology, joined the company in August of the same year.
Through Baron Engraving and the Baron Art Studio, the company’s work enhances the firearm’s appeal and adds value, making the Baron Technology a key partner for manufacturers, conservation organizations and military and law enforcement units.
The work they do has helped firearm makers rollout limited edition and commemorative models, giving customers highly sought after collectible guns. They have been the go-to company for conservation organizations that showcase Baron enhanced firearms as the prized auction item at countless fundraising banquets across the country. And for military and law enforcement units seeking to honor their unit histories, Baron artisans have helped memorialize those units in unique and inspiring designs.
Today, Baron Engraving is the largest, most versatile independent finishing company in the United States. That’s due in part to their ability to transform ordinary surfaces into works of art, but also because Baron takes on the role of partner, and not just vendor, when working with their clients.
They have become an invaluable collaborator and are welcomed by companies, both small and large, into the product design phase. When they sit down at the planning table they bring with them an array of options and work hand-in-hand with the manufacturer to come up with the right solution that matches the brand’s quality standards.
“At Baron, we find that we do our best work for customers who are not only innovative but also hands-on in the creative process, actively engaging in brainstorming and concept development. This approach allows our team to function seamlessly as an extension of our clients’ product development teams, bringing their vision to life with precision and artistry,” explained Dave Miles, President and CEO of Baron Technology.
Their services include multi-tone and depth-laser engraving, plating options in gold copper, silver and nickel, bluing/ black oxide, antiquing, French grey, industrial and decorative applications, polishing, inlays and more.
It’s this versatility in services that allows Baron to create ‘everybody wins’ solutions for their partners, and it’s why they take great pride in their role as a problem solver.
Through the Baron Art Studio, the company’s industry-leading design team will take on any project and turn the client’s vision into reality. They will work with the client’s agency or in-house department-supplied logos or images. Offering creative services for each project, they will produce concept sketches, art boards and offer hand paintings to ensure the client’s needs are exceeded.
And beyond being a key player in the firearm making process, they have expanded their role in the greater outdoor industry with an unwavering dedication to the hunting, shooting, and outdoor trades.
Their commitment goes beyond creating high-quality engravings. Baron Technology is deeply invested in supporting and strengthening the industry for future generations. As a Patron Member of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), Baron Technology actively advocates for industry growth, conservation, and community engagement, supporting organizations and causes that safeguard the future of hunting and shooting sports.
