Local Firm Buys Innovative Business

Staff Report From Augusta CEO

Tuesday, May 19th, 2020

Etched Memory, based in Evans, recently purchased the Uniqia Night Light Company, giving the local firm the ability to print in color on most of their products.  This process is called UV sublimation and it makes their already beautiful products stand out even more.  (For an example of this new feature, click on https://www.etchedmemory.com/Night-Lights_c_82.html.)

Etched Memory offers unique personalized gifts and awards for all of life’s celebrations.  They take ordinary 2D photos and create amazing 3D images that are laser- engraved inside of genuine crystal.  This technology uses a green light laser which can penetrate through the optical crystal, fracturing the image on the inside.  The residue of the fracture becomes the actual engraving, allowing every detail of the image to be captured.  The optical crystal is hand-cut and polished so that no two pieces are the same.  Their designers work individually with clients and take the time to understand each client’s vision so an amazing piece can be created that they will cherish for a lifetime.
