About Everbrite: History
On March 27, 1927, Charles J. Wamser founded Sheet Metal Products, Inc. where Mr. Wamser, a sheet metal worker and a salesman worked out of a rented garage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This company made signs one at a time using sheet metal with interior incandescent light bulb illumination and lettering formed from opal glass. When neon signs became popular in the 1930s Charles J. Wamser wanted to get into this market. Georges Claude held the patents on the electrodes that made neon signs possible. Charles J. Wamser created his own electrode that did not infringe on Claude's patent, making it commercially viable to produce neon signs in the United States. In 1933, with the repeal of prohibition arose the need for quantity production of signs and Everbrite's long term association with the brewing industry began. Sheet Metal Products became Everbrite Electric Signs, Inc. in 1935, which better characterized the business at the time.
By the 1940s, the need for a universal look in product promotion on a national level was taking place. Detroit car manufacturers, petroleum companies, as well as Milwaukee breweries wanted their brand names promoted in the same fashion in every retail setting to improve brand identity. The market demanded mass-produced signs and Everbrite had developed the technology and expertise to meet the demand. During World War II, when metal was prohibited for manufacturing use, production continued by changing to non-metal materials such as Masonite and composition board. When plastic entered the market, Everbrite entered the plastic sign industry and found ways for neon to coexist with this new material and backlit signs became the trend.Charles J. Wamser turned management of the company over to his son, Carl H. Wamser, who became president on March 14, 1954.
