In a business move that signals continued growth and innovation to support business owners throughout Central Illinois, S&S Signs Lighting Electric is proud to announce its acquisition of Elite Signs & Graphics—a trusted name in custom signs, vehicle wraps, and branding solutions.
This exciting merger brings together two well-respected local sign companies with decades of experience, complementary expertise, and a shared commitment to helping businesses stand out and shine. Together, we’re combining forces to deliver even greater value, creativity, and efficiency to our clients throughout Peoria, Bloomington, Champaign, Springfield and the surrounding communities.
S&S Signs Lighting Electric has been a leader in the local business community for over 20 years, known for crafting high-quality signage, performing energy-efficient lighting upgrades, and delivering dependable commercial electrical services. Our mission has always been to support local businesses by giving them the tools—and the visibility—they need to succeed.
Elite Signs & Graphics has followed a similar path, earning a reputation for their creativity and craftsmanship in the world of vehicle graphics, custom signs, and branding. Their ability to bring bold visual identities to life has made them a favorite among small businesses and corporate clients alike.
By merging our capabilities, we’re building a stronger, more comprehensive service offering that brings everything you need under one roof—from concept and design to fabrication, installation, lighting, and maintenance.
