About us
A hand-built workshop, years of craft on the bench—Banly's, LLC was just the paperwork catching up.
The name
Banly's reads like a maker's mark because it is: the fold where Bannis meets Ly—two surnames distilled into one stamp. No committee, no agency; just the shorthand we were already using for the work we build together.
Who we are
We founded Banly's, LLC in late 2025 to house the IP and products we'd been carrying long before the paperwork. Lorian Bannis leads technical direction—invention, systems, and what ends up in the patent stack. Tiffany Ly, co-founder and a first-generation Asian-American operator, is the force that turns vision into execution: shipping, standards, and the steady hand when ideas outrun the calendar.
One thread runs underneath it all: Pro-tocast, our handcrafted wooden rotocaster, has been in development for the better part of a decade—long refinement, real tools, real customers—so when you see Banly's on something new, you're seeing the same stubborn craft, just on a wider slate.
The workshop
All our intellectual property is developed in a shop built by hand, located in a field in the middle of nowhere in East Texas. This isn't where we're from—it's simply where we do our thinking and tinkering. A place removed from distractions, where focus meets innovation.
The partnership
We're not interchangeable roles on an org chart. One of us pushes into the unknown; the other makes sure what comes back is shippable, defensible, and honest. That tension—ambition checked by execution—is how sketches become patents, pilots, and products you can hold or deploy.
The approach
We believe in building things that matter. From entropy sensors to AI assistants, from handcrafted products to precision time systems—every project starts with a question: "What if this didn't exist yet?" Then we build it. We file the patents. We protect the IP. And we make it available for licensing to those who see the same potential.
Our commitment
We're a small shop, not a faceless brand. Privacy still matters—but so does putting names on the door. If you're here for licensing, a pilot, or a partnership, you should know who stands behind the filings. We build in the open air of East Texas, sign our work, and let the IP speak the rest.
