The provincial government is recognizing a Moncton-based sign manufacturer.

Hansen Signs was founded in 1979 and has become one of the largest sign companies in Canada.

Opportunities New Brunswick is providing up to $80,000 to help create 15 full-time positions.

This is estimated to create up to $ 1.74 million in direct provincial GDP.

Hansen Signs has more than 40 employees and has become one of the largest sign companies in Canada.

New positions include operations managers, production staff, sales managers, project managers, project coordinators, estimators, social media coordinators and lead designers. Hiring has already begun and they hope to have all of the roles filled by the end of 2026.

The company plans to strengthen relationships with existing clients and develop a strategy for entering the United States market.

“Hansen Signs is a true New Brunswick success story of a small family business that aimed high and achieved tremendous success,” said Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour Minister Greg Turner, who is also minister responsible for Opportunities NB.
