Hansen Signs of Moncton, N.B., is now taking the steps to expand its workforce and help strengthen relationships with existing clients. The company also intends to develop a strategy for entering the U.S. market.
Founded in 1979, Hansen Signs has more than 40 employees and has won multiple industry awards, including one from the Sign Association of Canada (SAC) for Sign Expo Canada’s new logo design, and two Best of Canada’s Sign Industry Awards (BOCSIes).
“Our proven process has enabled us to align with our clients’ needs and build strong, sustainable, and collaborative relationships that ensure we always provide a quality, cost-effective solution,” says Nick Hansen, the company’s president and CEO. “We pride ourselves on our ability to bring value to our clients through innovative solutions and exceptional service. Our dedication to continuous improvement and strategic investments ensure that we grow with our client base.”
The company’s efforts have also been recognized and supported by the provincial government. Opportunities NB will provide financial assistance up to $80,000 to help the company create 15 full-time positions by the end of 2026. This investment is estimated to create more than $1.7 million in direct provincial gross domestic product (GDP).
Among the new positions are operations managers, production staff, a sales manager, project managers, project co-ordinators, an estimator, a social media co-ordinator, and lead designers. The hiring process has already begun, with opportunities listed on local, national, and international job boards.
“Hansen Signs is a true New Brunswick success story of a small family business that aimed high and achieved tremendous success,” says Post-Secondary Education, Training, and Labour Minister Greg Turner, who is also responsible for Opportunities NB. “We are happy to support Hansen Signs in achieving their growth goals because sustainable, healthy, and resilient small businesses are what make New Brunswick’s economy thrive.”
