Formetco created a legacy of quality and innovation on every product that has been designed and built over the last 44 years.

In 1997 AdTech was founded and rapidly became the world’s leading supplier of TriFace signage. By 2002 AdTech had captured nearly 85% of all US Sporting Facility TriFace business. AdTech manufactured the industry’s first LED billboard lighting system and the first wireless internet based control system for TriFaces.
