Zahner's facilities and processes are unique primarily in their drastic scale compared to places we've been like Star Signs. Don't get me wrong, Star signs is capable of large projects and systems of signage, but for a fabrication company that does everything in house, Zahner is immense. Most of their work is in aluminum, as in many fabrication companies in the same market, due to the strength to weight ration and the workability, but Zahner is capable of many other materials including acrylic and steel.
Zahner acquires contracts for huge long term projects including architectural facades for big names like Frank Gehry by focusing on iterative exploration of surface finishing, and through large scale mockups. They employ two towers--a 20 ft. and a 40 ft.--which can hang architectural elements or sculpural sections so that shapes and finishes can be viewed at full scale.
They are also known for their hundreds of offered finishes, Zahner has a team dedicated to creating new textures, and patinas in series so that Zahner is able to match any theme that a project dictates.
On top of all of this, Zahner employs advanced technology. The use of a water jet cutter, a large scale CNC, and a patented metal punch Zahner is able to take their design teams wildest solutions and make them reality. Every detail is planned and tested by a dedicated staff. Even the shipping crates are specially built by crate builders.
