Three Generations.
One Standard.
Since 1946, Texas Nameplate Company has built its name on a single promise: every plate that leaves our floor meets the standard that earned us two Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Awards. We're a family business doing exacting work for the industries that can't afford a part that fails.
Eighty years of getting the small things exactly right.
A nameplate is a small part with an outsized job — it has to stay legible and intact long after the equipment around it has been through heat, chemicals, weather, and years of service. That's the work we've done since 1946.
We're still owned and run by the family that started it. The same people who answer the phone walk the floor and stand behind every order — and that accountability is exactly what two Baldrige Awards recognized.
Eight Decades, One Family
The milestones that shaped Texas Nameplate Company.
Texas Nameplate Company is founded in Dallas, Texas by Roy Crownover and two partners.
Roy Crownover buys out his partners and becomes sole owner, beginning the Crownover family stewardship that continues today.
Awarded the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award — the nation's highest Presidential honor for performance excellence, and one of the smallest companies ever to receive it.
Awarded a second Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award — a rare two-time distinction.
Built and moved into a new state-of-the-art facility in Lancaster, Texas — designed for advanced manufacturing, expanded capacity, and continued innovation.
Three generations in. Ongoing investment in advanced equipment and a custom-built ERP system continue to drive precision, speed, and quality across every order.
A planned 20,000 sq ft expansion of the Lancaster facility is under consideration — the next chapter in TNC's growth.
Some of that history is still here — the machines, the awards, and the paperwork behind eight decades of work.
Three Generations
From Roy Crownover’s shop on Main Street to the grandsons on the Lancaster floor today — the same name has been on the door since 1946.
