2018 Was a Great Year!

Thanks to the loyalty and business provided by our customers we produced over 100,000 signs in 2018. First time we have ever produced that many signs.

As a demonstration of our commitment to Superior Customer Service we fulfilled 2,707 orders in 2018 and of those over 96% were shipped complete and on-time to the date that we promised when we received the order from our customers. That is one of the highest accomplishments possible in the sign industry considering that every order is custom and most signs within each order are different from the others.

Our entire team is focused on making signs that are of the highest quality, matching customer designs and intent and making the experience an pleasant one for our sign company customers. Our customers don’t have to worry about getting their signs on-time.

When Performance Counts, Sign Companies Can Count on Graphic Components!
