Our business originally started in 1979 as “Trophy World” which was located on 34 Central Street in Bangor, Maine. Dieter Heinz was the original owner. When the business was starting out, we only used a pantograph machine to engrave plaques, bowls and trophies by hand.
The company grew and in 1989 was relocated to 48 Stevens Road in the East-West Industrial Park in Brewer, Maine. The company’s name was changed to “Awards, Signage and Trophies”, more staff was hired and we purchased our first color computer in 1989 as well. In 1999 the business was purchased by Bob Dion.
In 2018 the business name was changed to Awards, Signs and Trophies and Bob retired. We also bought a laser engraver in 2018 which allowed us to expand our product line! Megan has been with the company since 2013 and is currently the general manager. Bob still visits from time to time, if you’re lucky, you may still catch him when he drops by to visit.
