When Jeremy Coller opened his online laser engraving shop in 2023, the then-teenage entrepreneur was still working out of his grandfather’s property.

Then, a family friend introduced him to a site in one of Painesville’s industrial districts. “It was so bizarre, because it was just perfect,” Coller said. Infinity now operates its headquarters out of that facility at 546 Hoyt St., Unit 1, in Painesville. It has given Coller opportunities to grow his business operations. “You can really spread things out, work, it just makes things so much more smooth and increases our abilities and what we can handle,” he said. Coller’s main work area includes a bright orange carbon dioxide laser machine, which he can use to cut or engrave objects. He said that he writes code from a nearby computer, and the machine processes it with a laser that is generated using carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas. Across from the carbon dioxide laser machine sit a number of other laser machines. He said that that equipment can operate on lower power, allowing it to “hone in” more. “We do all sorts of custom parts – electrical panel labeling is huge, industrial signage,” Coller said. “We do some advertising material still – your cups, your coasters, that type of stuff, but mainly it’s the plastic parts.” He added that he can make awards in bulk. He also plans to start making gasket parts. Coller said that his engravings use a higher lines per inch measurement than engravings from some other companies. Similar to increasing the resolution on a digital photograph, a higher LPI count means that the marks will be “much sharper.” “The only thing we don’t do is uncoated metal, excluding stainless steel…that’s really the only thing that we don’t do, that and jewelry and that type of thing,” he said. “But all industrial, commercial engraving – if it’s bulk, we’re going to be less than everybody else just because we’re set up for it.” Operating the machines doesn’t feel like work to Coller. “My only work is on the computer,” he said. “Sitting out there running the machines is just fun.” In addition to looking for a new building, Coller has worked on growing in his own skills as well. He said that his company has obtained quality management system certifications under the ISO 9001-2015 standard. “It’s very redundant in keeping track of your parts to make sure that only the right stuff is leaving,” he said. “So, that’s a very high standard that we’ve worked to. So, it’s just been gaining all those certifications, qualifications. It’s not just working out of the barn.” The company’s website added that it also works on products for industrial, commercial, marine, aerospace and military contexts. The website also includes an online order section that Coller described as a “work in process.” Looking to the future, Coller said that he wants to increase awareness of his company. “Now we have an actual facility to invite people out to, that’s another huge plus,” he said. He also plans to stay involved with the Willoughby Western Lake County Chamber of Commerce. The chamber organized a Jan. 21 ribbon cutting ceremony at Infinity. “They’ve helped so much,” Coller said.
