Signtronix, Inc. - The nations leading manufacturer of business signage for independent business owners.

Signtronix, a Torrance, California based company is one third of the Encore Image Group. Founded back in the 1950s, the company was for a long time known as Gulf Development – it changed its name to Signtronix in 2000. Small business owners are the primary customers of the company, which designs and manufactures electronic signage. Signtronix is a prolific and far reaching brand, having been in operation for over 50 years across 25 states.

History of the Signtronix Company - A man named Kozell Boren, also known as “Kozy,” was a driving force behind Signtronix, and is its CEO today. A Texas native, Kozell Boren got his start in the signage business as a salesman operating in California. Eventually, he would go on to form his own company, named Superior Outdoor Display, with the help of Conrad Escalante. Superior Outdoor Display then bought Gulf Development, another up-and-coming company in the sign business. The company remained Gulf Development from 1964 until the 2000 name change to Signtronix.

Signtronix primarily works with small business owners who are seeking to draw in more customers with attractive signage. The company built a name for quality as Gulf Development. In the 1970s, the company was successful with its Dyna-Lite signs before creating a library of graphic icons for use on signage. It was discovered that these sign graphics were powerful advertising tools.

The company continued to innovate in the world of signage throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Among their new developments were LED light signs and displays. Eventually, the company settled on the new name Signtronix, which helped further build their image as high quality sign designers.

The next big change came in 2006, when Signtronix worked with two other companies to form the Encore Image Group. Along with Ontario Neon Company and Sign-Up Marketing, Signtronix created a new Employee Stock Purchase Plan to give its employees better investment options. The group went on to be the first to create a Non-Employee Stock Purchase Plan. This was in recognition of the contribution that outside salespeople also made to the company.
