custom retail display fixture components

Eleek, Inc. has extensive experience designing and manufacturing the various components of retail POP display fixtures including metal and plastic castings, vacuum-formed plastics, signage, cabinetry and custom woodwork, structural castings and lighting. All work is custom.

custom castings and tooling

As a third generation patternmaker, Eric Kaster is uniquely knowledgeable and well connected in the world of castings. Eleek not only casts soft metals in-house and builds all types of tooling, but works directly with many different foundries and die casters in order to offer its customers the highest quality castings at the best prices. We have extensive experience in the replication of historic castings (usually architectural accents or pieces of light fixtures) as well as the design and creation of logos, ornaments, hardware, etc. All work is custom.

"Eleek has designed many unique and outstanding displays, lighting and decorative fixtures for several of our urban condominium projects, from showroom displays to permanent building signage and architectural design elements. They consistently offer creative ideas, first class design and excellent craftsmanship. From listening to our needs to concepting, design and implementation, the process exceeds our expectations and always has an end result of the highest quality product."
