“We’ve been here for nearly twenty years, and we are here to stay….”

AdamsTech has been a leading innovator in several manufacturing and fabrication industries since its founding nearly twenty years ago. We were the first company to introduce highly precise, automated bending of flat metal coil to America in 1996.

Since our founding, we have continued to work with our global manufacturing partners and suppliers to continuously refine and improve automated metal fabrication processes and technologies. Our dedication to the improvement of existing technology, combined with our development of revolutionary materials and techniques, enables our customers to increase their productivity, efficiency, and most importantly, their profitability.

We provide the cutting-edge design, engineering, materials, and processes that give our customers the advantage in this highly competitive, imageconscious sign industry.

There are three primary challenges facing our manufacturing customers in the sign industry: increased price competition, the need for greater efficiency, and the ability to create impact.

Traditional channel letters have remained relatively unchanged for decades, which poses two problems. First, more manufacturers have the ability to produce these common channel letters, which has drastically increased competition and squeezed margins. Tighter margins require fabrication efficiency at levels never seen before, and signshop.com

sign builders were desperate for equipment that is faster, more accurate, and less wasteful than the antiquated equipment they had been using for years.

We responded to their demands with the introduction of the Super ChannelBender, which increases

profile channel letters. Our patented, proprietary LetterBox and brand new LetterForm coil materials— which can only be processed on our Super ChannelBender and Eco ChannelBender—have brought trimless letter fabrication into the twenty-first century. Our

productivity up to 26 percent, reduces waste by as much as 97 percent, and decreases labor by about 40 percent.

Second, people are becoming desensitized to traditional signage, and it takes innovative solutions for businesses to differentiate themselves and grab consumers’ attention. We have delivered several revolutionary solutions— LetterBox, LetterForm, and LiquiLetter—to better enable our customers to create high-impact signage.

We have noticed two growing trends in the sign industry affecting channel letter manufacturing in particular. More projects specify trimless channel letters or low-

UL-approved proprietary LiquiLetter resin process allows for the fabrication of low-profile channel letters as shallow as 3/4-inch yet still delivers outstanding illumination characteristics.

AdamsTech is strategically positioned to meet the needs of the huge international manufacturers and wholesalers as well as those of the smaller, high-end, custom fabricators. We continue to answer the calls of customers, which have gone unanswered by our competition.
