Troyer Signs History

Growing from humble beginnings to become one of the premiere graphic design and signage companies in Wayne County and beyond.

With prior art experience gained during his high school days, Maynard Troyer was a quick learner when his employer began to teach him how to hand letter company names on the truck bodies they manufactured. Before long, he was handling all of their lettering needs and eventually, they decided to phase out their own lettering service and contract the work directly to him.

As his lettering business grew , Maynard began to design and produce a variety of signage products and in 1981, he and his wife Lydia formed Troyer Signs, Inc. in the basement of their home near Apple Creek.

Within ten years , their business was rapidly outgrowing the basement so they moved to Wooster and turned an unused cabinet shop into the present home of Troyer Signs, Inc.
