The sign and graphics industry encompasses $37.5 billion in direct and indirect output, as reported by International Sign Association.

Airy.
With the support of Surry Country, local incentives, and the landlord, Kieffer | Starlite is pleased to consolidate all manufacturing to one facility located on Junction Street. As such, the facility will be expanded to include an additional 21,000 square feet. Two new loading docks are included in the construction, and the layout is redesigned to accommodate channel letter and thermoforming equipment that will be moved to the main facility.
Roger Miller, Director of Manufacturing – Mt. Airy, NC, states, “We are grateful to have the support from our community leaders. Their commitment to our success is making our vision a reality much sooner than anticipated. We broke ground May 26thand expect the transformation to be completed in August.” Miller states that this expansion will ultimately provide his team with one facility that houses all lean manufacturing processes and methods and will result in a safer and efficient work environment.
Miller also stated that they are excited to increase job demand in the area. Miller says, “We have several positions open now and will continue to add more after the expansion. Our company offers competitive pay, with benefits and many other monetary incentives.” He also elaborates that the sign industry offers an exciting career path as there are several cross-training opportunities.
