Colite has been a family owned full service signage manufacturer for over
50 years. In 1947 H. A. Brown, Jr. and W.L. Gantt purchased Hite Signs, a company
started in West Columbia, SC by D.I. Hite in 1923. Brown and Gantt merged with
Colonial Metal Letters, Inc. to form Colonial-Hites Company, later renamed
Colite. Marty and Peter Brown incorporated Colite International, Ltd. in 1992.
After refocusing the company on corporate and retail identity programs, they
then expanded the company globally, establishing contacts in dozens of countries
worldwide. Under their leadership Colite went from selling signs to implementing
sign programs nationwide and worldwide. Colite's full gamut of services includes
engineering, project management, surveys, installations, permitting, manufacturing
and maintenance.
Colite specializes in brand identity sign programs, ensuring brand integrity
for its clients by giving production and management one central location, and
by consistently producing quality signs that are true to their brand. Colite
maintains many types of clients, from state agencies and businesses, to ExxonMobil
and Bank of America. Colite currently conducts business in more than 50 countries
on five continents and maintains their worldwide partner network from their
Columbia, South Carolina offices.
