Our Story

Where we come from

History is filled with innovators whose ideas have changed society. They make an impact because they see an opportunity to improve the world and they act on it. This is the story of Loumarc Signs.

Our story could begin in 1956 when Lou and Laura Gliozzi of Ohio welcomed their son Larry into the world. For the sake of brevity, however, we’ll jump ahead a few decades.

By 1984, Larry Gliozzi had moved to New Jersey and was at the helm of Wayne Advertising, a successful full-service advertising agency with both retail and business-to-business clients. As a full-service ad agency, Wayne Advertising was frequently asked to provide signs for clients—a task that sounds simple enough, but proved to be anything but. No single sign company was able to provide creative designs, quality workmanship, on-time delivery and a full range of sign-related services. More often than not, obtaining custom, quality work and service was a process filled with hassles and ending in frustration for everyone involved.

The solution to this problem hit Larry like a bolt of lightning. (Some on the scene swear they heard a “Eureka!” escape Larry’s lips.) Why not create a sign company of his own? One that would strive to prevent the aggravation he continually encountered. One that could help clients with everything from designing a gorgeous sign to maintaining it for years—and doing so with a positive, upbeat attitude. In short, a different sort of sign company.

And thus was born Loumarc Signs, New Jersey’s finest sign shop! (In a remarkable coincidence, Larry’s sons are named Lou and Marc. Go figure.)
