Ortwein Sign Fabricates, Installs New Sustainable Solar-Powered Sign

Ortwein Sign (Chattanooga, TN) has installed a new solar-powered sign in an entryway traffic circle at the future home of the Spring Branch Industrial Park (Cleveland, TN). According to a statement made by Ortwein Sign, after surveying the initial architectural design, they had to adapt the interior of the sign to alleviate potential access complications due to the surrounding road.

Ortwein Sign’s team developed a steel and aluminum frame in lieu of a solid concrete sign to house the batteries and lighting components. These changes, according to Jim Teal, co-owner of Ortwein Sign, “kept the design intent and functionality, allowed for the use of solar panels to power the signage, all while helping to save costs.”

The Cleveland and Bradley Chamber of Commerce, led in this effort by Doug Berry, vice president of economic development, contracted Lewis Architects for the design of the sign and Ortwein Sign was brought in for the construction and installation. Spring Branch Industrial Park will be home to Cannon Automotive Solutions, a manufacturing of auto parts based out of Bowling Green, KY, along with other to-be-announced companies.
