More than a logo
on somebody else’s deck.

Empire is a hands-on skateboard manufacturer. The value is not a single machine or material—it is the ability to connect geometry, veneer, pressing, CNC work, finish, graphics and production judgment under one roof.

That same factory experience supports brands placing production orders, builders sourcing materials, educators leading a first classroom build and skaters developing a shape they cannot find anywhere else.

How Empire works

Specific over
one-size-fits-all.

  • We ask how the board needs to ride
  • We match process to quantity and finish
  • We develop tools when stock options are not enough
  • We keep specialist services connected
  • We manufacture in the United States

Will-call pickup is available by appointment. Contact the team before large veneer or freight pickups so dock access can be coordinated.

Empire Deck Studio

Start with geometry.
Not guesswork.

Build the shape, wheelbase and key deck dimensions in Deck Studio before production—or send us a deck you already love and we can discuss digitizing it.
