Schlosser Signs Marks Anniversary with New Loveland, CO Facility and Growth Plans

Loveland, Colo. — Schlosser Signs, Inc. (www.schlossersigns.com) and the Northern Colorado Economic Development Corporation (www.ncedc.com) are pleased to announce Schlosser Signs’ recent purchase of, and move into, a 9,100-square-foot facility located in Loveland, Colorado.

Schlosser Signs is a leader in the custom design, fabrication, installation and maintenance of signage in the region and nationwide. The company’s new facility, located in northeast Loveland at 3597 Draft Horse Court, provides increased office space, staging area and storage capacity.

“We’re a small business dedicated to increasing our capabilities and technologies to meet the needs of our clients.” said Carla Schlosser, CEO of Schlosser Signs. “The new building enables our continued commitment to growth and, equally significant, marks our 10th anniversary. Staying on track, we’ll be positioned to increase our 17-person staff by up to 10 people within the next two to three years.”

Over the past 18 months, the Schlosser family worked with the staff of the NCEDC to identify available real estate as well as incentives offered by the Small Business Association. In September they closed on the Loveland property and completed their move during November.

“The NCEDC helped educate us on purchasing commercial property, and they steered us to the SBA and we were able to take advantage of stimulus incentives,” said Schlosser.

“It is great to announce the good news of Schlosser Signs’ expansion in Loveland, particularly during a time when the general business news we have is negative.” said Mike Masciola, COO and Senior Vice President of NCEDC, “The NCEDC has been working with the company since 2008 and is delighted they purchased a facility and made the needed capital investments to accommodate their exciting growth.”

Schlosser Signs is Loveland’s only full-service custom sign company, in addition to being a regional leader in the business, and is currently adding solar capability to its list of signage technology. The company’s national install accounts include McDonald’s, Noodles & Company, Chase, Wells Fargo, Key Bank and Holiday Inn.
