The Story Behind the Name
What is Imago? To an entomologist, it’s the final stage of an insect’s transformation—a moment when a butterfly emerges from its pupa, spreads its fully ripened wings, and takes flight. For Imago Manufacturing, the name holds similar meaning, symbolizing growth, progress, and evolution. But for Ryan and the Imago team, the metamorphosis is far more intense. We aren’t just taking flight; we aim to soar.
Imago Manufacturing began in Ryan’s spirit long before it became a reality. While navigating the world of schooling, apprenticeships, and working for others, he felt a relentless pull—a call to break free from the familiar and surface with not only experience and knowledge but also a new way of thinking. With this, Imago was born: a company driven by precision, integrity, and a commitment to always improve.
The butterfly in our logo reflects this journey. It represents transformation—not just in Ryan’s personal evolution from a young craftsman to a business owner, but in our mission to continually innovate and elevate the manufacturing process. Our tagline, “The (R)evolution of Manufacturing,” captures this dual purpose:
- Evolution, symbolizing our growth and relentless pursuit of excellence.
- Revolution, highlighting our commitment to pushing boundaries, adopting cutting-edge technologies, and redefining what’s possible.
Like the butterfly that first feels the warmth of the sun and spreads its splendid wings, Imago Manufacturing was built with a bold vision: to change our corner of the world and inspire others to take flight with us. With every challenge, every innovation, and every success, we celebrate our journey and invite you to join the (r)evolution.
