Bridge the past with the future.

The route that was taken from your company’s formation to its present-day operations is an important one. An appealing historical display communicates this corporate heritage in a way that’s easy for viewers to understand. For example, a pictorial chronology wall featuring graphics and historical photos is an imaginative way to tell your firm’s story. Or, you might opt to create a timeline that shares the evolution of your corporate mission, the benefits you bring to clients, and your vision for the future. With so many styles, themes, images, and colors to choose from, there’s no limit to the ways you can make a historical timeline work for your organization.

Celebrate your influencers.

Smart organizations understand the importance of giving credit where it’s due. The significant people in your company’s history books deserve to be acknowledged for their many contributions. Donors, patrons, constituents, and employees are sure to appreciate this special recognition. In addition, when supporters understand the course your organization has traveled, the more likely they will be to support you in the future. Through compelling historical timelines and captivating exhibit solutions, Adler Display can depict your organization’s remarkable past and help you secure a firm foundation for the road ahead.

Thoughtfully composed historical timelines allow you to create a striking narrative that helps viewers understand your core values and the many benefits you bring to the world.

“We were very impressed with Adler Display from the moment Ron Adler presented his idea to us on our school timeline project. We loved the design concept and it was clear that Adler had really listened to us about the concept we were looking for! The staff and designers were so easy to work with and the editing process went extremely well! We are so pleased with our timeline!” – Jennifer Powlo-Johnson, Baltimore Polytechnic Institute

Testimonial from Northwestern Mutual
“I work at Northwestern Mutual in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The project I was working on was a historical timeline of our office. I had done months of research and was ready to hire someone to create the timeline for me. I had never done a project like this, so I started researching companies throughout the nation. Adler Display was a perfect fit! From the very beginning Jeff made me feel comfortable talking to him about this project. I felt like he listened to my design ideas and answered any questions I had. He made suggestions on how Adler Display could make my design even better. When he introduced me to his design team, they were all extremely nice and accommodating. Alexandra is an amazing designer. She created the proofs of the design, and man, does she do a fantastic job! I was nervous that the photos I had weren’t going to be quality when blown up to a larger size, but she assured me that it would be great. Towards the end of the project we decided to add a few more dates to our timeline, and Alexandra quickly added them to the design. Alexandra is efficient and talented! Marcy helped coordinate the installation. She asked all the right questions to make sure that the timeline made it to our office successfully! She kept me updated by the minute. I appreciate her hard work at making sure the timeline was delivered and installed properly. The entire team kept me in the loop through the whole process. They were very responsive and quick when replying to emails, which is how I prefer to communicate. The project, from start to finish was done virtually because we were in different states, and it honestly couldn’t have gone better. They were extremely professional and efficient. The timeline is perfect- from the photos, to the metal dates on the timeline! I can’t say enough good things about Adler Display and these wonderful individuals.”
