About Us

The Sign & Graphics Manufaktur produces high-quality custom-made signs with state-of-the art equipment and excellent customer service.

The meaning of the word “Manufaktur” in the German language is associated with “premium” and “hand-made” and it is used to refer to factories that produce very high-quality products. A “Manufaktur” produces products that are seen as “art”, not just “products”. Swiss watches are typically made in a “Manufaktur” as are many luxury and premium-brand clothes or jewellery.

The definition of the German word “Manufaktur” perfectly describes the business approach and workmanship at The Sign & Graphics Manufaktur. With an in-depth knowledge of the art of sign making, the use of high-tech equipment and unparalleled customer service we manufacture unique custom-made signs that stand out. We make signs in a speedy way, yet we take the time to do it right.
