For Glass & Crystal Awards, the Choice is "Crystal Clear"!


     When we started out in the awards business, it began as an outgrowth of the (now defunct) bowling equipment division of our company.  Just that you be fully informed, the bowling division was an outgrowth of our original business - pool table manufacturing and servicing.  Bowling, like billiards, were related in their existence as a popular recreational sport.  However, when bowling "leagues" were formed, there also came the need for trophies to be awarded at the end of the league's season - a need that increased exponentially over the years and still exists today.
       Nevertheless, this is how we initially became involved in the awards business in the late 1950's.  This also initiated the thinking that awards are not the exclusive need of bowlers in bowling leagues.  Everyone needs to be recognized for something, right?  Sure.  However, the standard style of a bowling trophy will not fit every taste and be appropriate for occasion.  
      Over the last six decades, the effort to meet the expansive need for recognition products has required inventive thinking as well as expertise in art, design and various material manufacturing.  When we at Loria Awards publish the words "Awards For Every Occasion" as our slogan, it's not just promising to offer a selection of awards that are adaptable to any occasion via the engraving copy, but also via the visual appeal and the aesthetic of the product itself.  This appeal and aesthetic is manifested through the material and the way it's manufactured.  
The latest and increasingly more popular alternative to the marble & column trophy or the wood backed plaque has been that of the "see through" variety.  Initially, that variety consisted mostly of acrylics due to the innovations in the plastics industry.  More recently, glass and crystal have become more accessible to a greater buying public. With the advances made in the manufacturing of glass and crystal materials, meeting the demand for these items (specifically in the recognition industry) has been expedited.
       Here at Loria, we presently offer a variety of stock and special-order glass and crystal award products for any budget, taste and aesthetic - from the most basic (for those on a shoestring budget) to the optically perfect variety that relay mesmerizing refractions of light.
       With our in-house facility for laser-engraving and sand-blasting, we can produce your text and graphics that are only limited by your imagination - and get the job done fast!
       So, even though this sounds like a cliche, it's more true now than ever before, here at Loria.  For glass and crystal awards, the choice is "crystal clear": Loria Awards!
