We will be at the NAEC 2010 Expo!

Truxes Company will be exhibiting at the NAEC 2010 Expo September 29th and 30th in Cincinnati, Ohio. We hope you will stop by our booth, #934, to hear about what we’ve been up to this past year!

We will be showcasing our stock items as well as many varieties of custom signage. Also displayed this year are our new TRU-X Plastic Jamb Plates and Car Stations! TRU-X products are not simply stick-on characters, which makes them vandal resistant.

We are also proud to announce our new website and web store, and will be happy to provide you with a glimpse at just how easy it is to customize your orders online. We’ve revolutionized the elevator signage industry by allowing all of our catalog items to be customized to your exact material, finish and characters—with easy step-by-step ordering, and special promotions just for ordering online!

Custom ADA Signage

Embossed ADA Metal Signage
Truxes uses the same quality standards in making general ADA signage as we do for our elevator signs. The signs are made from quality Stainless Steel and other alloys that make the signs nearly indestructible – including an extended life span and resistance to vandalism.

Reverse Etch ADA signs
Computer design allows us the freedom to design exactly what your customers want with the quality of a solid stainless sign. Special attention is given to letters and Braille which proves to be an integral part of the sign. These signs are created from a solid one-piece construction, making the “reverse etch” ADA signs nearly indestructible – which provides a lasting beauty and endurance in all environments.

Polymer ADA signage
Truxes can design a photo polymer sign for you or work from your cad files. Utilizing Novacryl polymer along with Mathews computer paint matching system – your customers are assured they are getting the look they want.

Applied ADA Graphics with Raster Braille (cut and mount)
Truxes uses state-of-the-art computer controlled machines to give you the applied graphic look your customers want. We use the industry standard materials and extruded frames in addition to raster Braille – providing quality signage at a reasonable cost.

Polycarbonate Embossed ADA Signs
Truxes has developed a process of embossing polycarbonate material up to .030 thickness with the contrasting graphics subsurface you would expect. Our embossed Braille and graphics are crush resistant and have a velvet matte polycarbonate finish. These polycarbonate signs provide customers using plastic signs a competitive, yet higher quality, alternative.

The Truxes Story

Bill Truxes epitomizes a true American patriot. As a young, idealistic man of 24 years old, Bill joined the Army Air Corps and became a B-24 (Liberator) bomber pilot. While serving in World War II, he was shot down during the Battle of the Bulge and became a POW in Germany in 1944. He was liberated at the end of the war.

With his beliefs and ideals intact he returned to Nebraska. He and Mildred, his devoted wife, started their family of six children, two boys and four girls. Supporting the family, Bill worked at Swift & Company for over 30 years rising to a Vice President in Chicago. After his retirement in 1975 he and Mildred founded the Truxes Company.

The company has grown and changed over the years, with all six children playing a part at one time or another—which has made it the success it is today.
