SMI Signs

Company History

SMI Sign Systems inc. was originally founded in 1989 under the name Sign Mart, Inc. The company enjoyed tremendous growth due to consistent quality, creative designs, combined with cost effective value engineering. It was clear by 1999 that Sign Mart had outgrown its name and was no longer a local sign shop but a premier sign solutions provider in the Mid-Atlantic region. Sign Mart was re-branded under the name SMI Sign Systems, Inc, in the year 2000 and has established an unparalleled precedent in both name recognition and reputation.

To this day, the entire dedicated staff at SMI continues to strive towards excellence in the sign industry. We have not forgotten the foundation in which the company’s success is based, customer service, quality, on time delivery, and value engineering. Because of our passion for sign manufacturing, SMI attracts the brightest, most dedicated staff, eager to serve and provide solutions to your signage needs.

In 2006, SMI ownership acquired a long established local exterior sign company and has added CFS Signs to extend its array of sign products, providing fabrication, installation and service to exterior signs, both lighted and non-illuminated.

Currently both SMI and CFS are situated in Rockville, Maryland, and serve the Maryland, Washington, DC and Northern Virginia markets. Manufacturing services are offered nationally with shipping available. Housed in 15,000 square feet of industrial space, SMI has a variety of equipment and personnel to serve the needs of our clients. With an emphasis on ADA compliant interior signs, SMI also provides directional and wayfinding signage, lobby directories, reception signage, and digital printing along with a variety of traditional signs, banners, as well as traffic control and parking sign solutions.

SMI’s success could not have been achieved without the trust and loyalty of our many hi-profile corporate accounts. We hope to have the opportunity to serve your companies needs both now and in the future.
