1953

On Marbækvej in Esbjerg, Carl Gustav Hansen founds a sole proprietorship that produces molded letters and house numbers in acrylic.

1954

Carl Gustav Hansen names the company Scandinavian Advertising Industry.

1955

Scandinavian Advertising Industry produces the first signs with built-in lighting. Among other things, double-sided lighted signs are manufactured for butcher shops and hairdressers.

1958

Denmark is experiencing economic growth, and many new stores are opening. With the increased competition, it is important that advertising signs attract attention in the street’s landscape. In lighted sign production, pinol bulbs are replaced by fluorescent lamps, which have a stronger brightness.

1961

Scandinavian Advertising Industry moves to Stærevej in Esbjerg.

1962

Hans Nørskov takes up employment in the company as an accountant. A blacksmith’s department is established in the company, as the demand for larger signs mounted on steel structures increases.

1965

The economic prosperity in Denmark and the increasing consumption of the Danes mean that the number of vehicles on the roads is growing. This creates a new opportunity for advertising, thus launching the first signs for cars. Lighted signs are delivered to customers, such as those for FDM’s sales vehicles.

1967

The first lighted signs for trucks are introduced.

1970

Hans Nørskov takes over the company together with a partner, Poul Arne Pedersen.

1971

Scandinavian Advertising Industry is converted into a public limited company. In everyday conversation, just the SRI abbreviation is used.

1971

The classic lighted sign for trucks, ClassicSign®, is introduced to the market. The sign is popular today.

1974

The company is expanding with a second production hall at Stærevej.

1977

SRI adds neon signs to their product range. Neon tubes can be bent and shaped — with this new light source, SRI can create façade signs, and signs with a more artistic expression.

1978

SRI launches a 2500 m2 building on Øresundsvej in Esbjerg. The new factory is designed in collaboration with the English subcontractor, ICI. The factory now also includes a new silk-screen printing department and its own painting cabin.

1978

SRI celebrates its 25th anniversary.

1980

Aerodynamic wind deflectors for trucks are designed and produced in fiberglass.

1982

SRI invests in the first CAD/CAM equipment, namely a large vertical Wild cutting table.

1983

Hans Nørskov’s partner leaves the company, and it is now solely taken over by the Nørskov family.

1985

SRI’s next classic, the AeroSign® lighted sign for trucks, will be introduced to the market.

1987

The store chains in Denmark are rapidly emerging. SRI supplies lighted signs to some of the country’s major chains: Synoptics, Sportmaster, Inspiration, Imerco, and Prince.

1991

The company moves to Håndværkervej.

1992

The company is expanding with a department at Lindholmvej.

1994

Hans Nørskov resigns, leaving the post as CEO to his son Flemming Nørskov.

1995

Signal signs for trucks with built-in rotor flashes and headlights are introduced.

1996

This year, signs are delivered to the gas company Metax/Shell for the first time. The petrol company will be SRI’s largest sign buyers in the 1990s.

1997

Another newly-built production hall will be used at Lindholmvej.

1999

The company becomes self-financing and is converted into a group with SRI Holding A/S as the main company.

2003

SRI celebrates its 50th anniversary.

2004

The company wins an order for Hyundai Cars in Denmark in a slightly special way. Hyundai has invited five companies to create a standing sign according to a description: the winning sign will be the best quality sign with a competitive price taken into consideration. SRI wins the order, and the Hyundai Group becomes this decade’s largest customer.

2005

The company moves to its present address at Brolæggervej.

2007

The company receives its first Gazelle Diploma.

2008

Due to increasing export focus, the operating company changes its name to SRI Sign Solution A/S.

2009

2010

2018

SRI is behind the delivery of the artwork “Orakel” – a 610 × 845 cm animated neon owl in four layers, mounted at the Carlsberg Campus University College in Copenhagen, likely this year’s biggest task of its kind.
