Canadian Traffic & Safety Signage

Canadian Sign and Sign Post Experts, operating in Supply Rite’s professional regulated sign fabrication facility, combine the best of North American materials with sign-making best practices and expert Canadian hands.

Join our mission to make Canadian roads as safe as possible – for as long as possible.

Supply Rite’s sign experts have decades of experience in sign production and traffic safety.  Our 30,000 square foot production facility in Brantford, Ontario does not import sign posts delivered in offshore containers.  Supply Rite’s sign division exclusively uses trusted materials and standard operating processes.  Safety, quality, and value are core principles of our operation and our products are aligned.  Supply Rite believes that safety and lifetime value impact the Canadian economy more than saving a toonie and demonstrates this ethos in its deep understanding of the life cycle of a traffic sign and sign post.

I, Traffic Sign

No single person on earth can make a modern traffic sign.  Much like Milton Friedman’s I, Pencil – the modern traffic sign is the aggregate result of thousands of years of human discovery and refined scientific research.
The modern traffic sign is a composition of hundreds of years of industrial evolution in mining – extracting aluminum, refining it and delivering it to market,  research discoveries at the molecular level – found in the adhesives used for lamination, deep understanding of light and the human eye – delivering cube-corner micro prismatic retroreflectors produced at massive scale, and the civic knowledge passed down the ages by public servants – responsible for the safety of the population and the management of infrastructure development spending. All of these amazing achievements can be eclipsed by a single tragedy on our Canadian roads. Choose to install only safe, crash tested, proven, North American products on your roadways.
