Throughout its 65-year history Bish Creative has leveraged both company-owned and outsourced display manufacturing operations to meet the varying needs of our diverse customers. This approach keeps costs low, lead-times short, and quality high. We stay nimble, so that whether you need 1 unit, or 1,000,000, we have the production capability to do so.
Certain customers like to leverage our domestic manufacturing capacity to shorten lead times, avoid tariff’s, ocean freight costs, and be able to proudly stamp their displays “Made in America”. To meet these needs we have 7 facilities in Northern Illinois who have partnered with Bish Creative for many years. We also have our model shop in Lake Zurich Illinois which we use to build prototypes and manufacturing in small quantities
Bish Creative also has manufacturing capacity in China, India, Turkey, Poland, and Mexico. China is generally our low-cost manufacturing location for larger runs, and we have our team in China personally inspect every project before it is loaded and shipped. The 2021 global supply chain challenges have also made Turkey and India excellent low-cost options. Mexico provides very competitive production, without the hassles of Ocean Freight.
