package solution to satisfy all your sign requirement.

National Neon's fabrication operations are located in a 13,000
square foot plant in Lethbridge Alberta and a 5,600 square foot
design, sales and service facility serves as a base for Calgary
operations. Lethbridge installation and service is provided
using a two ton (45'boom) truck, a three ton (85' boom) truck, a
35' telelift service van and a one ton flat-truck. In Calgary we
have a three ton (65' boom) truck, a 35' telelift service van and
a one ton flat-deck truck. Two 20' flat-decked trailers handle
transportation of completed signs from Lethbridge to Calgary or
to site.

National Neon's illuminated products are CSA certified (CSA
qualified fabricator since (1958). We fabricate satincoat sheet
metal cabinets with aluminum extrusion face frame systems. These
metal cabinets result in hight quality economical fascia signs.
Our fabricators also construct neo cabinets using lock-formed
sheet metal to produce a variety of custom shapes and raceways.
Our products include aluminum sign systems using Sign Pro and
Signcomp extrusions. The Company maintains neon unit
manufacturing capability in both Lethbridge and Calgary.

The company operates a 6'x 10'Precix CNC router system to
manufacture routed signs and components used in other sign
fabrication.

Plant paint facilities include a spray booth and use the AKZO
infermix Paint System and Grip Flex (plastic) and Grip Ease
(metal) paints. This system provides high quality paint finishes
and enables us to formulate matches to a broad spectrum of
pantone colours.

The Company employs thirty full time staff with roughly
two-thirds located at the head office and plant in Lethbridge.
Our staff delivers products and services using a team approach
that ensures our customers requirements are met. Experienced
fabricators (12 years plus average) are responsible for all
aspects of the sign cabinets they construct. This commences at
the shop drawing stage, through cabinet fabrication, wiring and
testing prior to cabinet painting. Their input is also sought in
the design phase to ensure that signs are designed with
fabrication and servicing considerations in mind.

Our graphics technicians apply the design (vinyl and/or paint) to
sign faces and are responsible from preparation of the face
(plastic, flex or metal) through cutting, layout and application
of the graphics. We inspect and test signs to ensure all
elements are functioning properly prior to their leaving the
plant for installation. Installation and service is performed by
our Sign Service and Installation Technician (SSIT) certified
staff.

National Neon maintains a significant portfolio of leased signs.
Our Display Rental Agreements are generally for five years and
longer and include full service plus insurance coverage. Having
a long history of leasing focuses our attention on building-in
quality in design and fabrication to ensure reliable and
serviceable signs. Profitability in leasing is a function of the
costs of product failures and on-going service requirements as
well as the initial investment. We build signs sold under cash
sale contracts to the same high quality as our own leased signs.!
