Owen Signcraft, originally founded by Joe Owen in 1955, has evolved significantly over the decades while maintaining its core identity. In its early days, the company specialized in hand-drawn and hand-carved signage, serving Simcoe County businesses with storefront signs, billboards, and vehicle graphics. The craftsmanship relied heavily on artistic skill, as there were no computers or advanced machinery to assist in production.

While modern technology has transformed the way signs are made, our dedication to quality and customer service remains unchanged. Today, digital tools like 3D printers, plotters, CNC cutters, and large-format printers have replaced much of the hand-drawn work. Owen Signcraft continues to look forward to the future and utilize cutting edge processes to ensure the high level of quality and craftmanship that we have become known for.
