Almetek Industries

Yes! Debi and the folks at Almetek are awesome! I’ve purchased at least 400 markers from them and have had most of them installed by Scouts. They are quality products that are a nice-​looking way to remind folks that what they do in their back yards, front yards and driveways impacts water quality for them and their downstream neighbors!
I just remembered… It took 15 years to get approval to mark the storm drains, and it only happened because i came on board with the city and showed them the high-​quality almetek markers! The others they had seen were too flimsy. These are sharp-​looking, easy to apply and have a guarantee one can’t pass up! :)

Almetek produces stamped metal markers, steel and aluminum, and multiple other stamped metal products. They primarily provide to large companies and municipalities. I encourage you to give them your business because they were professional with me, and the employees with whom I interacted are all genuine humans rather than cogs in a corporate machine. Ask for Debi Coale.
Here is my anecdote: I am currently the president of my condo association. This is more a community service position and less of an honor. It’s a lot like the opposite of being President of the United States. Anyway, we have a drain that goes from the street to our lake to prevent water from running over the ground to our lake. The idea is that will stop soil erosion. It works, but the local tards see the hole and think that will be a good place to put waste chemicals and soap. The waste chemicals and soap then appear in our lake, screwing up the already expensive and only mildly inviting ecosystem.
I was tasked to put up a «No Dumping — Drains To Lake» sign. The problem is that usually is the domain of a municipality or city, and not a single citizen. I cold called multiple people, but wound up with a solution when I cold-​called Almetek’s Debi Coale. Most companies sell in large batches. Almetek’s smallest amount of storm drain markers is 20. I need one. She sent me a sample, knowing that the goodwill on her part would not directly result in a sale. I got a good quality steel marker that says, «No Dumping — Drains To Lake.» It has a fish on it and some water. It will last a long time. I am telling this story to encourage anyone in the market for these markers or other cut and cast steel and aluminum signs to turn to Almetek and ask for Debi Coale. This is the way I can repay her kindness. I wish the rest of America still behaved the way the people at Almetek do.
