Queen Street Brisbane was a dirt road with hitching posts and horse troughs and one room shacks. Adelaide Street a wide track with deep gutters either side with wooden planks to cross them and reach the private homes on both sides of the street. The first Victoria Bridge was under construction and James Swan was the twelfth Mayor of Brisbane. In this, the year 1873, Mr. Samuel Smith decided that Brisbane needed a first-class manufacturer of rubber stamps.
Founding M.D Sam Smith
135 years later, from that first one-room business, on the corner of Adelaide and Edward streets, the Smith family carries on the tradition of quality manufacture. Now, the fifth generation, family owned and managed, company has grown to become Australia’s largest signage manufacturer. The company’s growth from 1873, then known as Smith & Sons Pty Ltd., later as Albert Smith Signs, and today known as Albert Smith Group, has been achieved by the Smith family’s commitment to manufacturing excellence, continued investment in research and development, and their strong desire to build a solid future for both their family and staff. Quality systems and procedures were introduced in the Albert Smith workplace long before it was fashionable. The demand for Albert Smith’s quality products grew both locally and internationally, developing into successful export to Asia. Many of the standards and technologies within the sign industry today were pioneered by Albert Smith Signs. Today, the Albert Smith Group is lead by Samuel Smiths great grandsons Rodney Smith, Managing Director, and Mitchell Smith, General Manager. The company proudly boasts manufacturing facilities in eight countries and the ASG customer base reads like the who’s who of the corporate world. This Australian family proudly carries on the tradition of their forebears and continues to run the business from the head office in Brisbane.

Quality assurance encompasses every aspect of our business, each process in each department, from administration through to installation. In-built quality starts with research and development and continues right through design, project management, production, installation and maintenance, every section has quality related responsibilities. Each work centre is responsible for manufacturing and providing the scheduled quality, in the required time in accordance with the planned estimate and also at the required quality level. Consequently a 'Do it right the first time' approach is the key to quality, cost reduction, productivity and customer satisfaction. To help achieve this objective, quality problems arising in various areas are to be identified and solved with speed, technical efficiency, and economy. The methods employed are kept continually under review and techniques improved whenever and wherever necessary. 'Quality Assurance' means exactly what it implies: assurance that quality is satisfactory when compared with the reference standard or specification by using testing, sampling or other accredited methods. The company requires such assurance before goods can be supplied to the customer. The above broad principles are basic to this company for the assurance of product and service quality, and ultimately customer satisfaction.

Albert Smith Group has a strong belief that the only way to achieve a successful outcome on any signage project, is to 'manage' the project. Whilst that may sound simplistic, we do more than just talk about the process, we rely on it, for the successful execution of your project.
27
Successful management of any project begins with careful planning. This investment in planning in the early stages starts with the use of a detailed MRP system for our estimating process followed by material procurement, comprehensive material schedules preparation, and assembly of Project Management Team personnel. The Project Management Team consists of project specific, Project Managers, supported by the Procurement Officer, the original Estimating & Design personnel, QA Officer, Operations and Logistics Managers and Installation Management team. As the team get to work‌ the real work begins, with the design team committing the details required to Working Drawings, for customer approval. With approval of the Working Drawings and the project timeline, in hand, our Project Management team bring our Operations people into play, while our Installation Management team begin the site establishment process. The site teams task is often complex with multiple reporting functions required, and it is essential that the highest level of security and Occupational Health & Safety is implemented to meet all regulatory and site specific requirements and that they maintain a fully auditable reporting trail for the protection and peace of mind of our valued customer. Project Management are responsible for implementing and maintaining site and project specific controls and measures, such as: Occupational Health & Safety Management Plan encompassing; Site Safety Management Plan including Security; Contractor Induction Training; Quality Assurance & Audit Programme; Traffic Control Asset Management; Customer liaison and reporting; Subcontractor and specialist services co-ordination and management; Statutory and Union management. customer

safe delivery of product locally, nationally and internationally
28
Safe packaging and freight consignment management is paramount to the success of any signage project, whether the delivery point is 10 or 10,000km from the despatch point. Following many years and thousands of cubic metres of experience, in the right (and the wrong) way to approach this task, we fully understand the most cost effective and reliable methodology to ensure the freight arrives on time, in 'one piece'. Taking into consideration all relevant issues such as; ensuring the goods are received at the other end in the right configuration for goods lifting and access restrictions, Customs inspections and clearances, Line of Credit facilitation and administration – nothing is overlooked. Whether we are forwarding one piece of glass neon tube or a 20 metre pylon packing a small door sign or economically packing a 12 metre container to maximise the cubic, whether we are sending it across the street or sending it around the world, Albert Smith Group have the proven experience and the know how to do it right.
