For example, they recently produced and installed the pylon at YZD Downsview. This project was led by one of Atec’s closest partners, Kramer Design Associates (KDA), with Jeremy Kramer (the principal and creative director) consulting with site ownership to create a landmark design. Atec had the pleasure of manifesting this vision: a 35-foot-tall, 13,000-pound sign featuring wood, metal, and backlit YZD letters. “It was quite an intricate sign,” Noah says, “and a great demonstration of what Atec is capable of making real in partnership with leading designers.” When it comes to projects of that caliber, Noah believes clients and construction partners choose Atec signs for a few key reasons. Despite operating and competing at the “highest levels of the signage industry,” Atec remains a “family business,” which allows the company to form personal relationships with clients and partners. This unique combination enables Atec to pivot and handle project variances more adeptly than many competitors, always prioritizing collaboration and teamwork. Additionally, Noah believes Atec Signs is set apart by their experience. Each of the three owners has a “lifetime of knowledge,” and they also have a number of employees with over 30 years of experience. Noah himself is newer to the business, but he’s a fourth-generation sign-maker OCTOBER 2025
