Built in Ohio. Built for a legacy.
A new direction.
The story
Made with purpose
Dead Center Engraving Co. began in Wooster, Ohio, in 2025 after Director of Operations Cooper Meshew’s health brought him home from working with a custom harvesting crew out West—his dream job.
What began as something creative to build at home became a chance to make something lasting: a local business, a source of pride, and a legacy for the future.
Today, Dead Center creates custom leather patch hats and personalized laser-engraved products while bringing the Mobile Hat Bar directly to public and private events across the region.
Made in Wooster
Locally operated in Wayne County, Ohio, and serving surrounding Northeast Ohio communities.
Built around your idea
From one meaningful gift to a complete company order, every project begins with what the customer wants to create.
Made on site
The Mobile Hat Bar lets guests choose a hat and patch and watch their custom hat come together at the event.
