Background
For more than 100 years, Fairgrieve Compression Moulding has built a strong reputation in the engineering and moulding sector. Based in Washington, their focus on precision, quality and innovation runs through everything they do. As the business has grown, so has the need for signage that reflects those same standards, both in how it looks and how it performs.
That’s where Signs Express Wearside stepped in. What began as a few individual projects has grown into a trusted, long-term partnership that continues to support the site’s evolution today.
