Our story begins in 1945 with Ray and Ruth Allison and a garage. In those days screen printing was the only option for the products they produced. They traveled around the United States securing new Dealers for their products, and they sold the very best products in the world.
Over the years, there were many changes in the Allison family ownership, where children and then grandchildren of Ray and Ruth had their hands in the daily operations and successes of the company. The same is true for the scores of employees and management in which everyone involved help to see the company’s successful longevity through today.
In the last years of the Allison family owning the business, the company started to grow in new directions like full vehicle graphics, road and highway signage and business signage, while continuing to serve the Fire, Police and other EMS industries through our loyal dealers. The growth in the retail market was phenomenal, because people became aware of what Reflective could do for their business at a reasonable cost.
Early in 2015, the Allison’s as a family decided to sell the company to their long term employees. Today, we are continuing their traditions of quality products and moving more into the world of technology with new equipment, a new larger location with a store front and new website; all while keeping the time honored business model of the Allison family.
We are very honored today to be a part of such a great company, that Ray and Ruth Allison started in their garage right here in McMinnville Oregon.
Special thanks is given to our former board of directors and owner’s representatives Rick (and Laqueta Allison), Nancy Allison, MaryLou Allison, Robert Allison, Andrew Allison, and Kim Preston for all the caring and love they have shown the staff over the years. They will not be forgotten.
