ADT Security Services announced it has awarded up to a $12 million dollar contract to Dallas-based HyperGraphic Impressions Inc. to produce millions of yard signs for ADT customers. The small Dallas company was in competition with several foreign firms to capture the business.

ADT needs additional yard signs because it is growing, the company said. In May, ADT acquired Brink’s Home Security Holdings Inc., which had recently changed its name to Broadview Security. This added an additional 1.3 million Broadview customers to ADT’s North American residential and small business operations which now serve more than six million customers under the ADT brand name.

“This contract will allow our company to expand its workforce by up to 50 percent creating good paying jobs with benefits for American workers,” said Spicer. “This contract is an affirmation of the hard work and dedication of our workers and their commitment to their jobs and our company and our customers.”

The bright blue and white octagon shaped ADT yard signs, which will come off the assembly line at a rate of 8,000 per day, will include features such as engineer grade reflective sheeting, a steel washer top safety cap, special ink to resist yellowing and a UV resistant clear coat to extend durability.
