Company Description:
Weidner Architectural Signage was founded as House of Signs by Ed and Char Weidner in 1955. In the firm's early years, Ed continued to work his night shift as a Sacramento police officer. The business rapidly grew. Under Ed's leadership, the company did the first signs for Shakey's pizza parlors, a locally founded enterprise that became a global success story, requiring that Weidner ship signs to its franchises all over the world. The following years required the business moving several times to accommodate the growth in sales. As the years progressed, so did the company's capabilities: paint brushes, rollers and plywood gave way to an industry dominated by computer-driven routers, vinyl cutters and welders. And while Weidner remained strong by anticipating trends and modernizing its operations, its greatest successes were, and continue to be, attributable to its bedrock values of service and adaptability. Not surprisingly, a great deal of the firm's customer base is comprised of repeat and referred clients.
