All Signs Lead to Olympic

Wednesday 01. July 2015 - Chicago's Olympic Signs Acquires Some White Way Sign's Assets at Recent Court Auction

Former White Way customers, the writing’s on the wall: Olympic Signs (www.olysigns.com) is poised to meet Chicago’s signage needs. In a historic acquisition, Olympic Signs has assumed ownership of the following White Way assets, including customer list, maintenance files, and project record files. “What this means for White Way customers is a seamless transition,” says Rob Whitehead, Olympic Sign’s co-owner. “We are prepared to hit the ground running to provide top-notch service to White Way Sign customers who may be in limbo since the company’s sale this past May.”
Olympic Signs is a venerable Chicagoland institution with an over 30-year legacy providing an excellent array of products and superior customer care. Capabilities include sign design, fabrication, permit acquisition, installation, maintenance, and project management. In addition to creating virtually every type and size sign imaginable—electronic messaging, channel lettering, awnings, LED accented lighted signs, pylon/monument signs, and billboards—Olympic Signs also installs and maintains parking lot and outdoor building lighting and LED conversions.
Olympic Signs was founded in 1980 by Robert Whitehead and Bill Pyter. An American success story, the company began in a two-car garage with a pick-up truck and a manual crane. Today, the firm is based in a 35,000 square-foot facility in Lombard, IL, and boasts an esteemed customer base that includes The Chicago Tribune, The Drake Hotel, Boeing, Portillo’s, plus several municipalities and high schools.
“We’re ready and eager to prove ourselves to the White Way customer family,” says Whitehead. We are finalizing our new Chicago office and expanding fabrication capabilities. What’s more, White Way customer files likely are already on hand, making for a smooth and quick transfer.”
