ABOUT US
Over 25 Years Of History
RIM Industries is located in Sydney’s South West and has been proudly serving the sign industry Australia-wide for over 25 years.
Our skilled staff take great pride in their work. We are well regarded for our quality service and workmanship which is evident in our long running relationships with our customers.
Whilst the sign trade form the majority of our work, we also manufacture for clients involved in electrical switchboards, trailer manufacturing, elevators, certification and engineering, equipment hire, military and nuclear science.
Whatever the requirement, we have the broad experience to work with you to achieve the best result.
Braille & Tactile
Custom Made to Suit the Client’s Design
We offer cost effective acrylic substrates in solid colours to metallic finishes such as satin natural anodise, brushed anodised finish, #4 stainless steel finish, linished brass, satin brass, and bronzes.
They feature durable surfaces that don’t show finger marks easily so they look good for longer. Where required the panels can be produced in 2pac painted finishes to suit the client’s design brief. All tactile features rounded top edges. Other processes can be combined to achieve the desired treatment.
Rotary Engraving
Engrave and Paint Fill Acrylic, Aluminium, Stainless Steel & more
We rotary engrave and paint fill the two most popular substrates – Satin Natural Anodise Aluminum (SNA) and #4 finish Stainless Steel. We can also offer other substrates such as pre-coloured finishes in stainless steel and anodised aluminium as well as acrylic.
Other processes can be combined to achieve the desired treatment such as:
- 2pac painted panels + engrave & paint fill (paint-on-paint) to meet the client’s colour requirements
- 2pac painted panels + engrave and paint fill + braille & tactile + digital print
- Apartment number panels requiring engraved shadow line patterns
- Engrave only for harsh environment signs and measurement signs
Lasering
Cutting, Engraving Marking of Acrylic, Stainless Steel, Traff and more
We have CO2 lasers for cutting & engraving and fibre lasers for direct marking to acrylics and stainless steel.
Materials we can laser cut are acrylic, PETG, laminates and veneers (where suitable), aluminium, brass, stainless and mild steel, and paper to name a few.
Materials we can direct laser mark are stainless steel, some acrylics and specialty plastics.
Materials we can laser engrave are engraving laminates (known as ‘Traff’, Gravoply etc) and acrylic.
Routing
Shaping of ACM, Acrylic, Aluminium, Polycarbonate, PVC and more
Our routing table is used in many facets of production. It is used to produce shallow channel letters, panels requiring cut outs such as light box panels, TV totems, intercom totems, control panels etc, along with the usual profile cutting of ACM, Acrylic, Aluminium sheet and plate, as well as PVC, Polycarbonate and other non-laserable substrates.
2pac Painting
Part of our Finishing Process or Yours
We 2pac paint many items we produce. In fact, our paint section is always in high demand.
Over time we have formulated 2pac paint colours to replace the anodised process opening up many more money and lead-time saving options for our customer’s to offer their clients.
We only use quality brand paint products from PPG and Dulux and have amassed quite a library of PMS colour match formulas over the decades.
Fabrication
Frames, Letters, Lightboxes, Static & TV Totems & more
We almost exclusively fabricate in Aluminium and Acrylic – they give the best all round performance when it comes to strength, weight, corrosion resistance, machining and ease of finishing.
We don’t make oversize structures such as Pylon signs. This keeps us focussed on Architectural signage – what we do best.
Printing
Print & Apply, Print Only, Labels and more
We can supply printed media from panels to stickers and decal strips ready laid up to make your installer’s job on site easier.
The vast majority of what we print ends up applied to substrates for a range of flat panel signs such as apartment numbers, directionals, statutory signs, carpark and traffic signs, evacuation and block plans, safety signs, site project signs etc. These are mostly supplied with double sided tape to the rear for a quick peel and stick solution for your installers.
We can also provide vinyl sets laid up with registration marks to aid in installation.
