ALBERT SMITH GROUP

Unless you ’ re living under a rock , chances are you ’ re surrounded by the Albert Smith Group EVERY DAY without even realising .

Do you get petrol at BP ? Brave the crowds at Westfield ? Shop at Coles or Woollies or – gym bunnies look away now – ( occasionally ) nip for some scran at McDonalds , Hungry Jacks , KFC or Red Rooster ?
How about driving past the shiny new motors on the forecourts of Mercedes , Audi , Volkswagen , and Porsche – do you sneak a glance ? Of course you do !
If you live in Asia Pacific or one of its major cities , the chances are you encounter at least one of the above several times a week – sometimes a day – and Albert Smith Group has , literally , stamped its brand over all of them .
Established in 1873 in Brisbane by Samuel Smith , the company initially manufactured rubber stamps . Over the years … Albert Smith Signs evolved into the branding and signage company it is today and is led by Samuel ’ s great grandsons ,
Rodney and Mitchell Smith .
Albert Smith Signs is a trusted leader and provider of signage products within Australia . Our number one priority is to protect our customers ’ brands through delivering consistent high quality compliant signage . Our claim to be a trusted leader in our industry is not only based on being one of the largest providers but also our long history of design innovations that subsequently have become industry standard . For example , Albert Smith Signs was the first company in Australia to bring plastics into signage manufacture ; the first to bring vacuum forming into signage manufacture in Australia ; and the first to deliver LED technology into signage in Australia to improve lighting reliability and reduce operational costs .
It was also the first to develop a unique illumination management system for pylon signs up to 25 metres in height , allowing both fluorescent tube and LED lighting systems to be maintained
