About the Business
Frankly this business is less about the internal physical manufacturing aspects and more about understanding and fulfilling the client requirements.
Very few sign businesses are able or, wish to attempt to, internally manufature the multitude of different types of signs. It is therefore usual to contract out various types of signs to specialist manufacturers. The operator of this business has built solid supply side relationships including outsourcing the physical installion of the finished product to best ensure the ability to meet client requirements.
Over the past 25 years the business has built its reputation as a reliable supplier across a suite of new and repeat clients. Some have regular requirements while others may only place orders on demand (updates or new locations etc). Invoice values vary significanlty from as little as $100 to several thousand.
