1 ** NOTES TO SPECIFIER ** DanSign supplies high-end modular sign systems This section is based on the products of DanSign A/S, which is located at: DanSign A/S Smedeland Glostrup Denmark Phone: DanSign A/S is a worldwide provider of high-end modular sign systems. DanSign is known best for its line of award winning modular sign systems, which were developed in Copenhagen Denmark since A defining element of DanSign s modular sign systems is that the sign faces are unlocked/removable using patented magnetic locking mechanisms. This allows users to interchange sign faces, and efficiently manage signage with security and ease. The flexibility and ease of maintenance of our systems is unique, and DanSign holds a world patent on the locking devices that lock and fixate the signs.
