Conner Boal built CBI to deliver better signage

Conner Boal started CBI Lighting & Manufacturing because he saw too many businesses forced to choose between low-quality work, slow turnaround times, or pricing that made no sense. Conner Boal wanted to build a company that made custom signage feel straightforward, professional, and worth the investment.

From the beginning, Conner Boal kept the focus simple: make signs that look right, last, and represent a business the way they should. That means better materials, cleaner production, more attention to detail, and a company that actually communicates with clients throughout the process.

Today, Conner Boal leads CBI Lighting & Manufacturing with a hands-on approach for businesses that need commercial signage, ADA signage, office signs, nameplates, and custom branding solutions.

  • Conner Boal keeps every project centered on your brand, space, and goals.
  • Clear communication, fast quoting, and real production standards.
  • Pittsburgh-based service with nationwide shipping available.
