Jones Sign (De Pere, WI) is building a new facility in Richmond, VA and beefing up its payroll to support the expansion.
The new Richmond plant will have a production floor spanning 33,000 sq. ft., more than doubling the 16,000-sq.-ft. space the company currently occupies. The move is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2023.
With more space comes increased production capacity, so Jones Sign is looking to hire more workers across a variety of skilled positions, including metal fabricators, installers, project managers, production employees, painters and crating specialists. “We will be growing our staff from 17 employees to about 45 when it’s all said and done,” said Operations Manager Josh Jewett.
Jones Sign was founded in 1910 and operates 14 locations across North America. In the 2020 Sign Contest, the company took home second place in the Outside Design/Shop Fabricated, Illuminated category for its sign at Daytona International Speedway.
