The Staff at B.F. Plastics, Inc. 

Celebrating 60 Incredible Years in Business

      BF Plastics 60th Anniversary  

We are proud to announce that B.F. Plastics, Inc. is celebrating a milestone, our sixtieth anniversary. In 1953, my father, Robert (Bob) Fichter, the founder of B.F. Plastics, Inc., began his venture of establishing a signage and engraving business. With his wife Marilyn by his side, he transformed his hobby into a successful business.   

 

His vision was to work directly with the customers to ensure they were always provided products with the quality they expected.  By carrying out his vision, the promise continues to improve on exceeding your expectations.

 

With over sixty years of proudly serving our customers, you can count on B.F. Plastics, Inc. for the materials and supplies for all your engraving, signage, recognition, and identification needs.

 

As we celebrate this tremendous milestone, I would like to personally thank you for your business and for putting your trust in B.F. Plastics, Inc. It has been personally rewarding to work with you over the years and we look forward to serving you for many years to come.

Think outside the box  

Incorporate printed photos into your plaque design.

Commemorate significant people, places, or events by incorporating printed photos into your plaque design.  Assembly is simple and your design capabilities are endless. Your photo memories can now be showcased in an elegant and unique way guaranteed to impress. These new Photo Plaques have all of the same great attributes as our standard BF Woods Plaques.  Standing pegs are available for countertop display.  Offered in Maple, Cherry and Walnut solid hardwoods.

   

Having a printed photo incorporated into the award will allow the receiver to reminisce instantly, making the award extra special.  Consider these new award products for your next job.  They can go a long way!
