Built by Hand.Seen by Millions.
Since 1950, Lowen Corporation has been a family-owned graphics and signage manufacturer rooted in craft, powered by people, and trusted by national brands.
From a Garage in Hutchinson to a National Manufacturing Operation.
What started as a hand-painted sign shop in Hutchinson, Kansas in 1950 has grown into one of the nation's largest graphics and signage manufacturers. Today, Lowen Corporation operates out of 300,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing and production space, producing large-format graphics, commercial signage, fleet wraps, environmental branding, and real estate signage for brands seen in every state.
Our nearly 250 team members design, print, fabricate, and coordinate installation for fleet graphics programs, real estate signage, and large-format printing projects for companies like Berkshire Hathaway, FedEx, Chick-fil-A, and Coldwell Banker. We control every step of the process, from wide-format digital printing and screen printing to sign fabrication and nationwide installation.
We are still family-owned. Still managed by people who walk the production floor. And after 76 years, still finding new ways to grow.
