about echo 5 company
How we started
Echo 5 Company was formed in 2017 by Ben, an Army Veteran and Jamie, a Marine in Jamie's garage in Humble Texas. Originally created as a way to connect with other Vets in the community. As we grew we started having meetups with other Vets in the area.
The Purpose of these were to not only have fun but to network, support veterans, their small businesses and industries. In addition to bringing Veterans together, we have many close friends who participate in our meetups who may not have joined the Military, but serve our country and it's Veterans by offering their friendship, support and expertise in many industries.
Through that experience we decided to scrape together just enough cash to buy two laser engravers, two hat presses and create our own business. We were headed into the world of pro American, pro military apparel.
Our Mission
We like to use the motto "grow more to do more". In addition to working directly with the Veterans, we're extremely passionate about the often left behind and sometimes forgotten Gold Star Families. These families are also a top priority for Echo 5 and a portion of all sales goes to help them directly.
Vision
Our vision is to revitalize American manufacturing through innovation and not only reach our ultimate goal of being 100% Made in America, but providing Veterans with opportunity to thrive after their time in service is complete.
