Top Quality Foundry & Custom Signage Experience
About us
Since 1952, Behrends has been exclusively engaged in the design and manufacture of custom metal signage and plaques. We are a top quality Canadian foundry and signage company – specialists in the manufacture of custom address plaques, engraved nameplates, grave markers, architectural signage systems and donor walls. The value of our consulting and design service, and our manufacturing expertise, is assured by our experienced, long-service staff.
As a foundry based company specializing in the sign and graphics industry, we excel in designer signage. Metals cast are aluminum, bronze and brass. In addition, we also manufacture custom stainless steel and designer acrylic signage for architectural signage systems.
Palette of metals, woods, acrylics…
Our palette of metals, woods, acrylics/plastics and custom signage applications conveys an impression of elegance and permanence difficult to match in any other medium. Our efforts are directed to architects, interior designers and the various end users of our products.
Over the years we have built up an extensive range of "stock" patterns for lettering, plaques and nameplates. Graphic images may be interpreted in sculptural relief or in multi-layered effects, and the range of finish treatments possible with cast metals places few limitations on the imaginative designer.
Augmenting our metal casting capabilities are two (2) heavy capacity computer-driven engraving machines, allowing custom image and letter engraving of brass and aluminum sheet, specially designed castings and plastics. We are one of the first sign companies to purchase an overhead router, in 1993 we purchased our first over head router, in 1997 we purchsed our second router, a Gerber Sabre 408 one of the first ever sold in Western Canada. We pride ourselves as being the leaders in the industry by utilizing the latest technology to manufacture the best product. We welcome your inquiries, and stand ready to assist you with your project, through consultation, computer layouts or sketch proposals and samples.
