When you look up...

Significantly better…
When I was first contemplating working for Metalcraft Industries, I had asked what the company made.  I was advised of its 20 years as a supplier for the sign industry.
This led me to looking at how signs are made and displayed…
Our mainstay is sign brackets. They come in a variety of styles and are often an added accompaniment to the sign.
It has been a lot of fun to seek out our sign brackets in my travels, on vacations or even just out and about town. What I have found is that I am not the only employee here at Metalcraft who does this.
Co-workers have shared their images of our brackets that they have also found during their off hours from work.
I thought I would share some of them here and show off a bit.

The first picture was a recent vacation find in PA. One of our powder coat people spotted them and sent me the image. It shows a nice line-up of both our Deluxe Scroll Bracket, as well as the Reverse Scroll Bracket. Both styles are complimentary to the large signage.



The second picture was from my visit to MN.  My brother was on the lookout and pointed to these two as we were headed out for an adventure.  He quickly pulled over for me and I stood in the middle of the road trying to get a good angle while dump trucks and semis whizzed past me.  The tattoo shop is using our Super Deluxe Scroll Bracket and the other is our Signature Deluxe Scroll Bracket.
Both are right beside each other. Word of mouth is a lot of what our business is based upon and I would venture to guess these two discussed their purchases with each other at some point.

 The third picture is from a recent visit out West by the owner of our company.  The excitement of finding our work in Yosemite National Park was enjoyed by all of us when he returned and shared the pictures.

Many of the images in our catalog were taken over on the East coast - here in Florida. St. Augustine offers historic streets and artistic venues that showcase our items throughout the town.
Here are just two of the many signs we found mounted with our brackets.

Next time you are venturing out, maybe you will look up and recognize our work.
They certainly are not a rare find. I can assure you...Metalcraft is everywhere.  Enjoy!

Political stakes...

Normally I would not discuss politics in a public post or blog, but there are some items I think you should know about regarding the upcoming elections.
Over the coming year there will be many opportunities for folks to show their interest and express their political orientation.
Metalcraft Industries offers a variety of ways to support them.
As a manufacturer of sign supplies we have a variety of unique display solutions, the number one value for your dollar that comes to mind is a great product called the TWISTAKE.
The TWISTAKE is a lightweight yet sturdy design that is suited for easy installs.

The TWISTAKE arrives in pack of 25 units , there is no assembly, it arrives ready for the addition of a COROPLAST sign.
(COROPLAST is a corrugated-plastic material it is an industry standard for sign making, , it can be easily printed upon with your message and holds up well to the elements).
To install, simply apply pressure to the two step down points of the TWISTAKE wire to secure it in the ground, no hammering or extra tools are required.

The TWISTAKE has been a favorite for the small business advertiser, (think lawn care, landscaping or window tinting), we think it is a dependable and likely a good candidate for your political messaging as well.

Just looking through some company pics this week, getting ready to update our logo to Celebrating 21 years…

Most days we are completing orders and building inventory of our sign frames and brackets.

The production plant often has unique and interesting jobs running, we powder coat many items each day and the range can be anywhere from outdoor furniture to aluminum sculptures…this was a recent request...it was powder coated green after this picture was taken and then it was shipped up north for finishing touches and install for the holidays..

I will see if I can get a picture of the completed project in place to add to this note.
