Signs Ink Celebrates 37 Years in Business

Signs Ink (Yorktown Heights, NY) recently reached its 37th anniversary, as sent in to us by Laura Lee Holmbo from Signs Ink.

“In an industry often driven by scale, speed and one-size-fits-all solutions, Signs Ink has grown for more than three decades by doing something deceptively simple: treating every project as if it were the only one,” Holmbo writes.

Founded in 1989 by brothers Matt and Tim Beachak, Signs Ink began as a basement operation in Yorktown Heights, NY, about an hour north of New York City. Today, the company operates from a fully renovated headquarters and serves a national client roster that includes major retailers, financial institutions, healthcare systems, school districts and automotive groups. “The growth, however, wasn’t driven by overnight expansion or aggressive acquisition,” Holmbo writes. “It was built steadily—through craftsmanship, consistency and word of mouth.”

“That foundation still drives how we work today,” Tim Beachak is quoted in the email. “We never set out to be the biggest shop. We focused on doing the work right, meeting our commitments, and earning trust one project at a time. Everything else followed.”

Rebrand & Renovation

Long before multi-location rollouts and complex wayfinding systems became part of the workflow, Signs Ink built its reputation one storefront, one vehicle, one installation at a time. Clients returned. They referred. And the shop evolved organically from a local sign company into a trusted national partner — without losing the hands-on approach that made it successful in the first place, Holmbo writes.

This evolution is most visible in the company’s recent rebrand and headquarters renovation. The renovation expanded production across both upstairs and downstairs workspaces — with dedicated areas for design, sign assembly and large-scale structural fabrication, including welding and construction of custom sign frames and architectural elements. This investment allows the team to fabricate, test and refine complex signage systems entirely in-house, according to Holmbo.

“Clients don’t just stop by for a quick meeting. They hang out,” Matt Beachak is quoted in the email. “They want to see how things are made, talk through ideas and be part of the process. We leaned into that. This space reflects the energy of the work and the relationships behind it.” As a designer and general contractor, Matt Beachak led the renovation, incorporating reclaimed signage, custom woodwork and layered lighting throughout the building, Holmbo writes.

“We’ve grown, but we haven’t changed who we are,” Tim Beachak adds. “This rebrand just makes it clearer what we’re capable of now.”
