Chris Murphy (D-CT) announced Monday that Sign Pro, Inc. of Southington is this week's "Murphy's Monday Manufacturer." Founded in 1990, Sign Pro, Inc. is a turnkey manufacturer, systems integrator, designer and installer of interior and exterior signage, custom structures, and marketing materials. The company specializes in corporate and individual signage for a diverse portfolio that includes: the State of Connecticut, local municipalities, colleges and universities, health care organizations, public safety organizations, professional sports and recreation facilities, restaurants, and more. One of Sign Pro's most notable creations is the steaming cup displayed atop the scoreboard at Dunkin' Donuts Park in Hartford and the incredible City of New Britain Beehive Bridge. Sign Pro custom manufactured the large colorful side wall enclosures, four large bee sculptures as well as the Beehive sculpture on the bridge. "Sign Pro is the perfect example of Connecticut manufacturing prominently on display," Murphy said. "Their innovation and creativity can be seen across the state in places both big and small. I also want to applaud Sign Pro for their dedication to workers in Connecticut. I'm proud to highlight them." "We have an amazing staff," Sign Pro Owner Pete Rappoccio said. "From account managers, designers, fabricators, painters, project managers and support staff who all work as a team. Sign Pro implemented LEAN Manufacturing principles and solutions for constant ongoing improvements. We embrace our Connecticut universities and graduates who we have hired through the years and Sign Pro has provided internship programs to develop the students to full-time employees, "We are also looking to be innovative and with the latest technologies and solutions to better our clients. We have recently taken delivery of a massive 3D printer for our new Innovation Center. We are proud of Connecticut, the support and talent that is here and would not want to be anywhere else." Sign Pro, Inc. is a family owned and operated business, and next year will be celebrating 30 years in business. The company's more than 70 employees work out of a 45,000-square-foot facility in the Plantsville section of Southington.
