Where can I get satin stainless steel sign trays?

Give them a call and ask for Ben Murphy

Probably a sheet metal place. Commercial kitchen fitter?

Phil, have a good look around your area for an engineering company that are able to do sheet metalwork, I’m sure that you’ll find one tucked away on a local trading estate. Over the years I’ve had all my sign trays made by a company just round the corner from my factory, both stainless and aluminium, I bought the metal from a local metal supplier, had it delivered to their factory and they did the folding and welding and the bonuses were that I could go a speak to the man who was preparing the quote, speak to the man who was making it and at almost half the price of the companies who ”specialise” in tray making. I also had 3 local companies who did powder coating and they provided colour matching and finishing.

I used to search for these services in Yellow Pages directory, before the internet, and in my experience most of these companies still don’t have a web site although they may use email. They may still have a Yell.com advert though. I think we are slipping into a belief that if it doesn’t appear on the first page of a Google search then it doesn’t exist and if there isn’t an app or YouTube video it can’t be done.

Second Steve and David on this one

I saw a local metal works guy close to us making small trays to house luxury wallets similar kind of concept, they were cutting the returns and welding these to the face rather than folding as there folding machine couldn’t fold that small.

You would be better off with a local firm, not sure if 2innovate would be able to assist as they would just be subbing this out anyway.

Phil….

Clearing out some old email message and its dawned on me that Vince from 3d signs could probably make these for you…

I know his quoted a few intricate bit in the past for us to accompany other bits.

Give him a shout a real nice bloke.

Pretty sure Vince is on the boards too if my old brain serves me well.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I managed to get a quote from Simplex. Just waiting to see if I can get the green light from my client.

[Vince Francis]

Thanks for the recommendation James.

Simplex are a good company who will do a good job also

I know you’ve got it sorted, but if anyone else reads this, just thought i’d throw another name in the mix.

We use a company called Jaro Signs for a lot of our tray work (including stainless steel).
They are based in Basildon in Essex and can be found easily on Google.
