About Us

We have been making an impression since 1903 — making us Australia’s oldest signage company. From our Sunshine West facility we design, fabricate, install and maintain signage for some of the country’s best-known brands, covering everything from illuminated pylon signs and shopfronts through to large-format architectural and retail projects.

Our workshop is the heart of the business. We are looking for a skilled Fabricator / Welder to join our production team.
