Williams Sign Company, a storied family-owned enterprise, has been a fixture in the Southern California sign industry since its inception in 1930 by Maurice G. Williams. With a legacy spanning over seven decades, this full-service sign company has built a reputation for producing high-quality signage, from neon-illuminated masterpieces to modern digital displays. Their commitment to craftsmanship and professional service is evident in every project, ensuring that each sign is not only a functional piece of advertisement but also a work of art that stands the test of time.
The company’s history is rich with innovation and tradition, marked by the introduction of neon signs in the mid-1930s and the expansion of their manufacturing capabilities in 1938. Under the guidance of Maurice’s son, Jay Williams, who joined after serving in the US Air Force, the company mastered the art of custom sign creation, including neon tube bending. Their portfolio boasts iconic vintage signs for landmarks such as the LA County Fair, showcasing their ability to create signage that captures the spirit of an era and leaves a lasting impression.
Today, Williams Sign Company continues to evolve, embracing new technologies and techniques to meet the modern demands of the industry while still honoring their rich heritage. The business remains a family affair, with the involvement of Jay’s daughter Sharon Willison and her son Chad Bruce, ensuring that the founder’s vision and values are preserved. Their dedication to working closely with clients to fulfill their advertising needs is unwavering, making Williams Sign Company a trusted partner for businesses looking to make a visual impact with their signage.
