Stanley operates out of a 30,000 square foot plant that was built for the company in the North York area of Toronto in 1953. Product lines such as fabricated plastics, foil labels and advertising and promotional specialties were added, and also in 1953, Stanley produced the first plastic hose sprinklers made in Canada. A similar hose is still produced today and sold under the Andrews trade name in lawn and garden retailers across North America.

The company has survived both growth and consolidation as the nameplate industry changed with the introduction of new technologies, both in printing and manufacturing. Complimentary businesses were acquired, including Ontario Decal in 1989, A.M. Andrews Co., the U.S. manufacturer of the Andrews sprinkler hose, in 1993, and Etched Name Plates Co. in 1998. And today Stanley focuses more on custom orders and smaller production runs rather than the larger contracts from OEMs that it became known for 20 to 50 years ago.

Stanley has been and continues to be a trusted and reliable source for quality nameplates and identification products. The company maintains strong relationships with long-time and new customers and suppliers, its skilled and experienced work force and its private shareholders and bankers.
