Headrick Companies, founded by A.B. Headrick in Laurel, MS, began its journey during the Great Depression with humble beginnings as a small hand-painted sign shop. Over the decades, the company has evolved and adapted to market needs, and by the end of World War II, the addition of a neon plant propelled its growth, as neon signs became increasingly popular in the 1940s. Innovation has been at the core of Headrick's success; a significant milestone was achieved in 1972 when Headrick developed the first remote control price sign for gas stations, establishing the company as a leading innovator in fuel pricing signage for convenience stores and travel centers across the U.S. and beyond.
In June 1999, the company expanded its creative horizons significantly when Richard Headrick was commissioned to construct the tallest trio of crosses in North America for the Bellevue Baptist Church. This marked the beginning of Headrick's prominence as a premier manufacturer of majestic crosses, fulfilling countless requests from churches throughout the United States and Central America.
Throughout the 1990s, Headrick also successfully produced a diverse range of signs, billboards, and graphic images for clients in the U.S., Canada, Central America, and beyond. With strategic locations in Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Idaho, and North Carolina, Headrick leverages advanced technology and state-of-the-art equipment to accommodate a wide spectrum of signage and graphic needs. Their commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer service positions them as a reliable partner for businesses in all sectors, whether they require pylon signs, illuminated signage, or custom designs.
Today, Headrick Companies continues to adapt and thrive in the changing signage market, reinforcing its place as an industry leader dedicated to helping clients create memorable and effective visual communications.
