historyOrbus Incorporated was established in April 2001 in a modest facility on South Michigan Avenue. It launched with a staff of three and two primary products. By the spring of 2002 the line expanded to 22 products with a growing need for graphic services. As a result, Orbus merged with Paul Person Graphics, a Chicago based tradeshow inkjet print house. The new and improved business relocated into a facility on the northwest side of Chicago. By January of 2003, the Orbus graphics department was fully established and providing graphic services that coordinated with a range of over fifty various display products. Orbus later introduced an unbranded catalog with the first edition of The Exhibitors Handbook. With over one hundred products and trade customers in almost every major US city, Orbus had established a solid reputation and foundation. In 2005, with over sixty employees and a continually increasing product range, Orbus made plans for relocation. March 2006 marked an agreement for a newly constructed facility in Bolingbrook, Illinois. By summer Orbus had been recognized as one of Americas top five market leaders by several trade publications and leading tradeshow authorities. SignPro Systems was launched in November 2007 as Orbus' first step into the modular signage industry. In 2009, Origin was launched as a provider of full custom solutions. Today with this expansion, Orbus has grown to employ over 175 team members and its product line includes over 300 products. |

what are people saying
- "Orbus is our #1 spot for quality portable products and quick turnaround. They are reliable and have been my go to people for years. You are designated a specific sales rep who is very involved with your orders and the relationship feels more like a family."
- "Orbus and our company have a strong partnership based on their consistent reliability, outstanding customer service, and wide range of top of the line products that our customers demand. Orbus has stood out as one of our hundreds of vendors that top the list as a company that is a pleasure to do business with. I look forward to both of our continued success in the future."
- "The product breadth and quality available from Orbus allow us to present high-quality, cost-effective display solutions to our customers. We research and test hundreds of products annually and have found Orbus’ products extremely reliable. The most important reason that we continue to increase our business with Orbus is the customer service we receive; 'our Orbus sales representatives' have helped to deliver product in extremely compressed timeframes and have done so in all cases with a can-do attitude. It’s frankly refreshing to work with such dedicated customer-service oriented people and I can’t say enough about the service we receive each and every day. Keep up the great work! I look forward to expanding our relationship in 2010!"
- "I was initially impressed and attracted to Orbus because of the wide range of products and services and that was what brought me to do business with them. Since that time, their offerings have continued to expand but I am even more impressed with the customer service and support. My Sales Consultant, is not only incredibly knowledgeable but equally as pleasant to do business with on a daily basis."
- "I am pleased to say that every experience that I have had with Orbus has been first-class. 'My Sales Representative' is extremely helpful and always goes above and beyond. The Orbus product line has been a great addition our company and customers."
- "Your team there at Orbus is unlike no other. I work with so many vendors and it is rare to find one that is so helpful and easy to work with. I wish I could have more vendors like you guys! You all should be proud to work with such great people!"
- "We have purchased a huge assortment of great products from Orbus for years. Their company team, including sales, customer service and production are an outstanding group of people that have proven time and again that they really do care about the outcome of ALL of our projects. The Orbus team works like an extension of our company and have rarely, if ever, let us down."
- "Orbus has been my primary supplier of banner stands, pop-up booths and exhibit lighting for the past three years. Their product line seems to have almost everything I am looking for and I tend to gravitate to their catalog or website whenever I am in need. They respond quickly, are reasonably priced and quite frankly, nice people to work with!"
- "Orbus is our favorite supplier. Excellent products, competitive pricing, and knowledgeable personnel make them our first choice."
- "Orbus is our #1 spot for quality portable products and quick turnaround. They are reliable and have been my go to people for years. You are designated a specific sales rep who is very involved with your orders and the relationship feels more like a family."
- "For years we always bought the cheapest retractable stands and always tried to focus on being the cheapest competitor in town for them. We always had problems. The springs would break, the feet would come off, and customers were always bringing them back for something. Then we started buying only the high-end systems (Barracuda and Imagine) from Orbus and have not looked back. We can now really stand by our products as being higher quality and when people come in to look at them, they don’t care if we’re more expensive. They see the difference and they like it. So, for what it’s worth, even if Orbus is more expensive, they have DEFINITELY been worth it for us."
- "The Orient banner stand is popular with our clients and is a little less expensive than their premium ones. We have had great experiences with Orbus and they are always willing to help if we are in a bind and need something quickly or if we have weird sign requests."
- "We have Orbus stands coming in almost weekly and are totally satisfied. When customers say they can get one for an absurdly low price on the internet, we tell them to go ahead if they insist on cheap and we'll make the banner, but won't replace it if it is eaten by their banner stand."
- "'My Orbus representative' is great and handles all our difficult changes and last minute needs perfectly. We have lots of vendors who show no enthusiasm for their jobs and aren’t very friendly to deal with, but 'our Orbus representative' is definitely not like that. My sales staff and I enjoy talking to 'our Orbus representative' about our display needs and want to thank her and Orbus for great service. We will continue to use Orbus as our primary supplier for display products. "
