Signco

Signco is a sign shop and vehicle-wrap fabricator on Merriam Lane in Kansas City, Kansas, in business since 1977 and owned by president Mike Sailer.

Its work includes wraps for the KC Streetcar.

Description

Signco occupies a shop on the Merriam Lane industrial corridor in Kansas City, Kansas, where the street’s mix of small fabricators, machine shops and service yards runs west from Southwest Boulevard. The business is a full-cycle sign house: design, fabrication, installation and maintenance are all handled in-house, including an indoor bay where vehicle wraps are applied by the company’s own installers rather than subcontracted.¹

The company describes itself as a one-stop shop for business visual identity — vehicle and fleet wraps, exterior and interior signage, monument signs, custom wall and window wraps, dimensional letters, vinyl banners printed in-house in full colour at sizes up to 60 inches tall, trade-show displays and booths, decals and vinyl lettering, plus branded apparel and advertising-specialty items.¹² Its featured work includes a KC Streetcar wrap, and projects for Prism Real Estate Services, Art in the Loop, Open & Shut, Fluesbrothers Chimney Service and SK Security.¹

Signco is one of the Wyandotte County businesses listed in the Wyandotte Economic Development Council’s locally-owned business directory, under Printing.²

History

Signco dates its business to 1977, a founding year stated both on its own About page and in the Better Business Bureau’s record of the company.¹³ The corporate entity Signco, Inc. was incorporated on December 8, 1999, twenty-two years after the business start date — a common pattern where an existing operation is reorganised into a corporation.³ The circumstances of that reorganisation, and who founded the business in 1977, are not established by any source located in this pass. “

Mike Sailer is recorded by the BBB as the company’s president and is identified as owner in his own professional profile.³⁴ Whether he is the founder, a successor owner, or a family successor is not established. “

The company became BBB accredited on December 29, 2009.³ Its site copy as of 2026 claims “40 years of professional know-how,” a figure that appears to be a slightly stale marketing number against a 1977 start date.¹
