Chris Heinly, the visionary of L&H founded the company in 1992 as a small signs and graphics provider for local businesses. The company’s origins were as modest as they come, operating out of Chris’s very own basement.

A graduate of the prestigious Pennsylvania School of Arts, Chris understood the power of strong design. This realization infused every aspect of L&H’s operations, setting a precedent for excellence that would guide them through the years to come.

Throughout our years, L&H Companies expanded into a national provider of custom signage, graphics, ornamental metal, and visual solutions. The L&H family grew to encompass more than 90 talented individuals, working hand in hand to bring brands to life through custom fabricated visual solutions. Through success came expansion, and L&H Companies established a state-of-the-art 75,000 square foot headquarters in Reading, PA as well as satellite offices in Charlotte, NC and St. Petersburg, FL.

Throughout the changes and growth, L&H remains true to our roots founded in family and faith. As the heart and soul of the company, Chris Heinly remains at the helm, serving as the beacon of inspiration, the owner, President, and CEO.

L&H Companies recently executed a design build feature project partnering with our friends at Hershey Chocolate World to create this unique rooftop display. Old school water tower, lettering, and Chocolate bar so realistic it will make you crave chocolate! Utilizing a custom paint technique to give the new framing and elements a weathered look while still maintaining a modern retro feel was paramount to the execution. The Hershey letters themselves are illuminated with an Edison style bulb and programming controls that allow the team to set them to different patterns.

Pegula Ice Arena | Penn State University

At Pegula Ice Arena, home to PSU Men’s and Women’s hockey teams, we undertook a signage renovation to enhance visitor experience. This revamp aligned interior signage with Penn State’s branding. A highlight was Gate A’s redesign, featuring an illuminated PSU logo centerpiece, complemented by skate lines symbolizing the teams’ skill. The concourse now sports Penn State blue walls, complemented by digital displays showcasing athletics content and player profiles. Illuminated trophy cases emphasize the university’s athletic legacy.

Liberty Arena | Lynchburg, VA

Liberty Arena stands as the fresh hub for Liberty University’s basketball and volleyball teams. Nestled beside the larger 10,000-seat Vines Center, this 4,000-seat venue impresses with its intimate setting, ensuring an electrifying environment and a unique home court edge.

In collaboration with L&H Signs, Liberty University envisioned and executed the indoor signage and navigation for this venture. L&H was given the challenge of infusing the vibrant red & blue brand hues into a contemporary sign package. With the seating areas lacking back walls or distinct entry points for clear signage, L&H innovatively crafted “triangle totems” to guarantee visibility from every corner of the arena.
