ABOUT US

PBM Specialties was founded in 2011 as a research and development company focusing on products that were simple in design, beautiful to the consumer, and premium in quality. Since then, PBM Specialties has evolved into a light manufacturing company specializing in signage, awards, and specialty products. In each of these areas, PBM Specialties products have become synonymous with high quality, excellent service, and extraordinary results.

PBM Specialties all proper insurances to manufacturer and professionally install signage.

HISTORY

PBM Specialties is laser focused on quality, integrity, and accountability to our customers because it’s part of our history. We understand the gap between the signage industry and the needs of owners and their general contractors. So, we solve that problem by providing extraordinary service and quality—making everyone’s project a less stressful and more beautiful experience when it comes to signage.

In fact, PBM Specialties was founded as a solution to a problem … a go kart problem. One sunny day, as is common in Florida, Doug Coberley’s grand kids were hoping to enjoy their visit to “Papa’s” house just as they had many times before—by tearing up the yard in their go karts.

Unfortunately, one of the go karts was in need of repairs. When the “Munchkins” asked Papa to fix it, he seized the opportunity to teach his grand kids a lesson in tenacity, ethics, and commitment. He told the kids to “earn the money.”

The kids, four, six, seven and 10 years old at the time, had no idea how to earn the money so Papa told them to start a company. After coming up with ideas, they started fabricating garden ornaments in various materials, then other decorative products and finally a lamp, from which PBM Specialties’ Premium Display Lamp™ has evolved.

So Florida’s best signs and awards manufacturer was essentially founded by Doug Coberley as an experiment and teaching opportunity for his grandchildren. He believed, and advocated to his grand kids, that hard work, strong ethics, and dedication, were still the drivers of a success in America.

And so here we are today, (P)apa’s (B)and of (M)unchkins Specialties, making the world a better place one beautiful sign and one beautiful award at a time.
