Posted by Amy Sorkin on Jul 11, 2016 2:36:54 PM
The Birch Run Expo Center is an entertainment and trade facility located along I-75 in Birch Run, Michigan. When they were ready to upgrade their fifteen year old, monochrome amber LED Sign, Electro-Matic Visual helped them make it happen.
 
This entertainment venue received two new LED Displays from Electro-Matic Visual. The full color, single-sided LED Sign, is anchored at the entrance to the venue, and the new full-color double-sided LED Display can be seen while driving north or southbound on I-75.
 
"Electro-Matic LED Displays are designed & packaged as well as any we've worked with.  The fact, that they are Michigan Made makes it an easy decision to partner with them on EMC projects.  We've been working Birch Run Expo Center for many years.  When they asked us to upgrade to full color, we knew Electro-Matic was the right choice!"   Steve Jordan - President - Barrett Signs
