1990 - The Begining

When I think about Axent Graphics, I see more than just a screen printing and embroidery business; I see a legacy built by my dad, Dave Weber, who started it all back in 1990 right here in Brook Park, Ohio. My dad wasn’t just creating a company; he was building a cornerstone for our community—a place where businesses, sports teams, churches, and organizations could find high-quality, custom apparel that represented who they are and what they stand for.

Our customers are the center of our world and serving our community is of the utmost importance.

The Name

Naming the business was a challenge in those early days, but my dad had a creative spark. He wanted a name that would stand out in the phone book—back when that was the go-to resource—so it had to start with an “A.” That’s how Axent Graphics came to be, inspired by the idea of cutting costs for customers: “Ax” through your “cent.”

After graduating from Wittenberg in 2002, I joined my dad at Axent Graphics. Working alongside him, I learned so much about leadership, passion, and commitment—not just to the business but to our community and each other. In 2010, my sister, Cassie, came on board to expand our sales efforts, and together, we grew the company in ways we never imagined.

2018

When my dad lost his battle with prostate cancer in 2018, it was a heartbreaking moment for our family and our community. But his vision—to prioritize our customers and serve the community—has stayed with us every step of the way. When I was asked to take over the business, I knew I wasn’t just stepping into a role; I was continuing the legacy of a man who poured his heart into Axent Graphics.

2024

Today, we still uphold the same values my dad instilled in us. We listen to our customers, embrace new technology, and consistently deliver high-quality products that make a difference. From custom t-shirts to embroidery and promotional items, we’re proud to play a part in helping you promote your businesses, events, and teams.
