About Us
We started the sign business in 2005 when we were partnered with Crow River Glass. The sign business started with a small cutter used to make stencils for glass etching. There was a need for signs, so we started making small signs and banners for companies with cut vinyl. In 2007 we purchased a large format digital printer, giving us the capability to do wraps and full color signs. AJ was trained and certified at the Oracal Wrap Academy April of 2007. We purchased screen printing equipment in 2009 which began our move in the apparel industry. In 2010 AJ and Jessica purchased Crow River Signs from Crow River Glass and moved the business to 300 Hwy 7, Hutchinson, MN. Crow River Signs has expanded it's service to include promotional products and embroidery. In 2013 we were out of office space and needed to improve our workflow and moved the business to 123 Michigan St. NE, Hutchinson, MN. 2013 was also a big year for us, Thank you to Hutchinson Health for choosing us to roll out your new brand and update all your signage with the new logo working with local companies keeping much of the work local within the community it serves and showcase not only our talent but the the ability to collaborate with local companies to get a large scale project done together. 2014 has been an exciting year with travel across the United States. In 2014 we sold our successful apparel company as it was growing like crazy and so was our sign and wrap business but we wanted to focus on the sign and wrap business expanding into LED digital message signs. AJ is a trained and skilled metal fabricator. His experience with fabrication has allowed us to specialize in retrofitting signs and custom signage. 2015 was another exciting year as we expanded our business world wide. In 2017 we established our first branding partnership providing their corporate graphics nationwide from design, print to installation. In 2018 when Hutchinson Health partnered with HealthPartners they choose to work with us once again to re-brand their hospital and update all their signage within the corporate brand guidelines. We are always expanding our product knowledge and constantly working hard to improve our products and services.
