Professional signage conveys a brand’s essence to the world, and partnering with a company that can illustrate the heart and soul of a brand through signage is essential. Full-service sign manufacturer Sign Pro understands and caters to this need by offering turnkey solutions and premium service. From sign design to offering customized signage solutions for rebranding, companies trust Sign Pro to do an impressive job.

From a small business that started in a bedroom over 30 years ago, Sign Pro has evolved into an internationally recognized, award-winning organization that manages projects entirely in-house, from conceptualization to installation.

Sign Pro’s client-focused approach began with its president, Pete Rappoccio. His background in Business Management played a key role in establishing a company that places high value on thorough, professional work regardless of the project size. He also emphasizes single-source responsibility. Clients can share their needs and goals, and the Sign Pro team will work with them every step to craft their vision, maintaining brand consistency and stringent quality control.

The team also obtains approvals from landlords and meticulously works with municipalities to secure the necessary permits, ensuring compliance with local laws.

All signs are manufactured at the company’s state-of-the-art facility, equipped with high-end technology. Strict adherence to quality standards and exceeding client expectations are a must. As the final step, these signs are installed by Sign Pro’s expert crew, and customers are provided with photos throughout the process and certainly once the projects are completed. As a full service partner, it saves clients from the onboarding of several vendors and coordinating with multiple contractors.

“By bringing our clients the single-source responsibility, a state-of-the-art fabrication facility, and most importantly, the talented staff, we don’t confine ourselves to just signage. We confine ourselves to whatever our clients can imagine,” says Rappoccio.

Sign Pro also helps clients handle merger and acquisition branding successfully and efficiently. One example of this holistic approach is when M&T Bank acquired Peoples United Bank in the Northeast.

When this type of merger and acquisition happens, it’s typical for organizations to hire multiple companies to handle different regions or aspects of the rebranding, especially for the number of sites, typically 25. But Sign Pro is fully equipped to handle large-scale acquisition projects. It developed a relationship of trust and exceeded client expectations on a previous acquisition by successfully rebranding 90 locations in 90 days for Peoples United Bank. From the permits to completion. When it was time to rebrand for M&T Bank, stakeholders again called on Sign Pro to deliver. The team managed the entire project seamlessly, from administrative tasks to signage installation of 156 sites and unveiling the M&T Bank brand within 12 hours from the day of the go-live launch date.

Another large-scale undertaking Pete Rappoccio is proud of is the New Britain’s Beehive Bridge Project. This award winning, visually stunning project began as a rough sketch based on Mayor Erin Stewart’s idea. The bridge marries form and function and is a beloved part of the city. Sign Pro fabricated the structure of the bridge that spans 275, with 20 bee sculptures at each bridge entryway, 12 high beehive sculptures in the center, and 1250 plus geometric shapes. The team manufactured and installed every single component without using a single shim.

Executing these projects with a high level of efficiency wouldn’t be possible without a dedicated team. That’s why Pete Rappoccio takes a hands-on approach to employee development and cultivating a good work ethic. He believes that creating opportunities for employees to grow while remaining sensitive to their personal needs is key to supporting the company’s stellar growth.

Sign Pro is also a strong proponent of sustainability, constructing industry-leading facilities like its 45,000-square foot LEED-certified production building. The facility is outfitted with an extensive solar array to power in-house operations. Its strong ethics and dedication to quality shine through and have bolstered its position as an industry leader.
