Twenty-plus years of commercial signage, family-owned and family-led, and one consistent mission: produce work that the region's most demanding operators can stake their reputation on.
G1 Graphics was founded by Ed Danberry — a service-disabled Army veteran who believed the region's commercial operators deserved better than what a typical walk-in sign shop could deliver. He built the company on a simple premise: fleets, facilities, and enterprise clients need a production partner that runs on their timelines, meets their quality standards, and shows up when it matters.
That premise shaped everything — from which clients we pursued to how our production floor was organized. No walk-in retail. No storefront. Just a commercial shop, built for commercial work. It's why clients like the Port Authority of NY & NJ, Betson, the NJ Hall of Fame, and the Brooklyn Nets became long-term relationships rather than one-time jobs.
Same clients. Same standards. Same commitment to production quality and client service. What changed was ownership — not mission. In 2022, Maria certified G1 Graphics as a Woman-Owned Business Enterprise. The institutional knowledge that built G1 into a trusted regional shop stayed with the company.
Today, G1 Graphics operates from our production facility at 634 Frelinghuysen Avenue in Newark and is affiliated with the Group One family of businesses — a network of operating companies with roughly 800 employees serving aviation, facility management, contracting, and distribution across the region. That affiliation matters on big projects. It means we can draw on the stability, resources, and institutional depth to see your work through.
Maria has led G1 Graphics since 2020, when she inherited the company from her late husband, Ed Danberry. Under her ownership, the company became a certified Woman-Owned Business Enterprise and continued its focus on serving commercial operators across the NY / NJ metro.
Her leadership emphasizes the same values that defined the company from day one: treating every client's brand with the care it deserves, honoring deadlines, and never substituting marketing polish for production quality.
Oversees day-to-day production, install scheduling, and quality control across every job that leaves the shop.
Manages long-standing client relationships and develops new commercial partnerships.
Group One, the family of businesses G1 Graphics is affiliated with, is led by Co-CEOs Anthony DeLucia and Seth Danberry.
From day one, the company is positioned to serve fleets, facilities, and enterprise clients — not walk-in retail. That focus defines every decision that follows.
The Port Authority of NY & NJ, Betson, NJ Hall of Fame, and the Brooklyn Nets become anchor accounts — relationships built on delivering to spec, on deadline, every time.
Ed Danberry passes. Maria Danberry inherits the business and continues the mission without interruption.
Maria formalizes G1 Graphics' status under new ownership with WBE certification through the Port Authority of NY & NJ.
The broader Group One family of businesses marks a quarter-century of outstanding service. G1 Graphics continues as the signs-and-graphics brand within that affiliated family.
Vehicle wraps for Essex and Rockland County Sheriff's Offices. Runway graphics at EWR. Fleet rebrands, arena graphics, municipal signage. The work — and the clients — keep growing.
G1 Graphics is affiliated with the Group One family of businesses — a network that's spent 25+ years serving aviation, facility management, contracting, and distribution clients across the region. We share leadership, brand identity, and operational infrastructure with Group One, while maintaining independent ownership and WBE certification.

That's not us. Our Group One affiliation means access to audited operations at scale, real insurance capacity, and the institutional depth to see through a six-figure fleet rebrand or a multi-site signage rollout. When we say we'll finish on deadline, we mean it.
If you're sourcing a sign shop that treats your brand like it matters and will actually finish what it starts — we should be on your short list.
