JRS CLOSING

HI. Looking for a replacement for JRS frames. I contacted JP and many other suppliers but they do not carry them. Frames are 5" x 5", extruded aluminum, silver finish, that have a track inside of the frame so that you can snap in a clear lens for ADA/Braille. Any ideas?

Looks like BF Plastics took over JRS. did s search for JRS this morning and they come up.

JRS made some business mistakes.
- The move to Texas which damaged their production lines
- The debasing of their main product by becoming a reseller for other manufacturers, which
also alienated a lot of their dealers since now JRS competes with them
- Removing many of their dealers to focus only on a few companies

Hopefully something can rise out of the ashes.
Check out contactusa.net. Line is starting to build. Plastic holders designed so opposite side accepts uv print.

I'm thinking about making a run of frames, if you want to message me your order I would be willing to take a look and maybe make up some prototypes for you.
Hello Evan, Do you make the aluminum architectural frames? I am also trying to find a supplier. I contacted Johnson Plastics but they have a 55-60 lead time and my customer is looking to have their signage installed quicker than that.

I have made a few this year, You can send me what you are looking for and I can see if it's something I can do. I have some aluminum in stock but have just been using off-the-shelf extrusions so far.

We have had the same vendor in China make the architectural frames that make the standard JRS. Problem is all seems to be custom and needing 30-60 days.....so looking at doing it stateside.

We have had this product made and had looked at importing stock sizes and then offering customer with 30-60 lead times. This product should be made domestically. We should put our heads together. I have contact with JRS`s production manager.

I could really use a source for the Curved frames they used to sell. JPP has a few but not the right size. You used to be able to get one that fit a 8.5x14 insert.

I recently saw something from Vista with a new line like this. I believe Johnson has them with a looonnnggg lead time. We only have the plastic versions .
