Australia's Oldest Signage Company, Still Leading the Industry

When you need commercial signage done right, on time, and built to last, the company behind the work matters just as much as the sign itself. For more than 120 years, Landells Signs has been the trusted signage partner for some of Australia’s most recognised brands, and the reason is simple: no other signage company in Australia can match the combination of legacy, capability, and end-to-end delivery that Landells brings to every project.

From the consultation table to installation day, every stage of your signage project is handled in-house, by a highly experienced team that has been refining its craft since 1903.


Australia’s Oldest Signage Company, Still Leading the Industry

Founded in 1903, Landells Signs holds the distinction of being Australia’s oldest continuously trading signage company. That is not simply a milestone — it is proof of an ability to evolve, adapt, and consistently deliver results across more than a century of changing markets, technologies, and client expectations.

This depth of experience is what sets Landells apart. While other signage providers come and go, Landells has built enduring partnerships with Australia’s biggest brands, earning a reputation for quality and reliability that no new entrant can replicate overnight.


Full End-to-End In-House Capability

One of Landells Signs’ most significant competitive advantages is its fully integrated, in-house operation. From the very first conversation through to final installation and ongoing maintenance, every step of the process is managed and executed internally by Landells’ own elite team of professionals.

This end-to-end model means:

  • No outsourcing or hand-off gaps
  • No loss of quality control between stages
  • Faster turnaround times
  • Tighter cost management
  • A seamless client experience from start to finish

The in-house capability at Landells Signs covers the full project lifecycle:

  • Consultation and briefing
  • Concept development
  • Estimating and cost planning
  • Design and engineering
  • Manufacturing
  • Project management
  • National installation
  • Ongoing signage maintenance

In-House Design and Engineering Excellence

At the heart of every Landells project is a team of strategic experts, engineers, and graphic designers with the technical knowledge and creative capability to bring even the most ambitious signage visions to life.

Design and Strategy
The Landells design team works closely with clients to understand brand objectives, spatial requirements, and audience impact goals. Whether you are starting from a rough concept or a detailed brief, the team’s job is to translate your vision into signage that captures your brand with precision and impact.

In-House Engineering
Every structurally complex sign — including Landells’ industry-leading pylon signs — is designed using 3D CAD technology, fully engineered, and certified before a single component is manufactured. This includes:

  • Permit procurement
  • Engineering computations
  • Structural certification

All handled internally to ensure every sign meets the highest safety and quality standards. This in-house engineering capability is rare in the Australian signage industry, and it is one of the key reasons Landells can take on large-scale, complex projects that other providers simply cannot.


State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Facilities

Landells Signs invests continuously in the most advanced signage manufacturing machinery and printing technology available. The result is a manufacturing operation that consistently sets the benchmark for quality, precision, and production efficiency in the Australian signage industry.

With a large, skilled, and long-tenured manufacturing workforce, Landells is equipped to handle high-volume production runs with tight timelines — without any compromise on quality. Multiple quality assurance checkpoints are built into the manufacturing process, ensuring every project is completed on spec, every time.


Fast Turnaround Without Compromising Quality

Speed is one of the most valued attributes in commercial signage, particularly for:

  • Large national rollouts
  • Retail fit-outs
  • Time-sensitive brand campaigns

Because design, engineering, manufacturing, and project management all happen under one roof, Landells can move from brief to delivery faster than any outsourced or fragmented signage operation. Clients consistently cite on-time, on-spec delivery as one of the defining characteristics of working with Landells — and the team’s track record speaks for itself.


Dedicated Project Management, Every Step of the Way

Every Landells Signs client is assigned a dedicated, hand-picked Project Manager who serves as their primary point of contact throughout the entire project. Whether the scope involves a single high-impact installation or a nationwide rollout spanning thousands of signs, the Project Manager is accountable for every detail, timeline, and outcome.

This tailored approach ensures that clients are never passed between departments or left chasing updates. Your Project Manager knows your brief, understands your brand, and is personally invested in delivering results that meet your vision, timeline, and budget.


National and Trans-Tasman Delivery and Installation

Landells Signs operates a national installation network spanning Australia and New Zealand, giving clients the confidence of consistent, professional installation regardless of location. From metropolitan centres to regional sites, the Landells installation team delivers the same standard of workmanship and safety compliance across every project.

For large national campaigns, this capability is invaluable. Coordinating signage rollouts across dozens or hundreds of sites requires logistics precision and on-the-ground reliability — and Landells has the infrastructure and experience to deliver both.


Trusted by Australia’s Biggest Brands

The longevity and depth of Landells Signs’ client relationships is perhaps the most compelling testament to the quality of their work. These are not one-off projects — but long-term partnerships built on consistently exceptional results.

Landells Signs has been the Coles Group’s signage partner of choice since 1914, when they signed the very first Coles store in Australia. That partnership has continued through more than a century of retail evolution, spanning:

  • 800+ Coles stores
  • 700+ Liquorland stores
  • 700+ Coles Express locations

Delivering custom-measured, individually designed signage across thousands of unique store configurations is one of the most complex signage briefs in the country — and Landells executes it with precision every time.

Beyond Coles, Landells Signs has delivered signage solutions for:

  • Kmart
  • Officeworks
  • Priceline
  • Decathlon
  • Formula 1
  • Construction companies, shopping centres, and organisations across virtually every sector of the Australian economy

Record-Breaking Work: The Tallest Pylon Sign in the Southern Hemisphere

One of the most striking demonstrations of Landells Signs’ engineering and manufacturing capability is the tallest pylon sign in the Southern Hemisphere, produced for Carrying Hub. This landmark project required the full depth of Landells’ in-house expertise:

  • 3D CAD engineering and structural certification
  • Precision manufacturing
  • Complex installation

It is the kind of project that only a company with Landells’ combination of engineering capability, manufacturing scale, and project management experience could deliver — and it stands as a powerful symbol of what the Landells team is capable of at its best.


Award-Winning. Industry-Recognised. Decades of Accolades.

Landells Signs’ commitment to quality, innovation, and client outcomes has been recognised through dozens of industry awards accumulated over many decades. These accolades reflect the consistent excellence the Landells team brings to every project — from the precision of their manufacturing to the professionalism of their project delivery.

Combined with long-term contracted relationships with Australia’s most demanding clients, these awards are a reflection of a business that has never stopped striving to lead its industry.
