Britten

Britten, Inc. is a large-format printing, signage, and event fabrication company based in Traverse City, Michigan. Founded in 1985 by Paul Britten as a hand-painted banner and sign business, the company began by serving racetracks and outdoor events with custom billboards and signage, establishing early roots in the out-of-home advertising world. What started as Britten Banners has grown into one of the most advanced and vertically integrated event fabrication companies in North America, supporting corporate events, conferences, trade show booths, brand activations, and large-scale experiential marketing campaigns.

The company operates from a 35-acre campus in Traverse City that encompasses more than 500,000 square feet of manufacturing space across eight buildings, and it employs more than 250 full-time associates, including industrial designers, project engineers, graphic artists, craftspeople, field supervisors, and project managers. This in-house depth allows Britten to handle projects from design and engineering through production and field execution. In 2026, Britten announced a strategic evolution toward world-class event fabrication, with signage and large-format printing remaining core capabilities that feed its broader experiential and environmental work.

Within the OOH and brand-experience ecosystem, Britten stands out for combining decades of signage heritage with substantial manufacturing scale, positioning it as a production partner for advertisers and agencies that need large, custom-fabricated visual environments as well as traditional printed banners and signage.
