Abbott Image Solutions, LLC, in collaboration with JobsOhio, Ohio Southeast Economic Development (OhioSE), and Highland County Economic Development, today announced an investment of over $1.3 million to locate in Leesburg, Ohio, creating 30 new jobs.

A national sign company established in 2015, Abbott Image Solutions has developed a cutting-edge design, engineering, and manufacturing facility. The company prides itself on producing all of its products in-house, including interior and exterior signage, wayfinding, electronic message signs, neon signs, monuments, and more.

Through this investment, the company will relocate its headquarters from Wilmington, Ohio. The new facility will allow the company to reopen a recently shuttered site, doubling its footprint and workforce. A native of Leesburg, Abbott Image Solutions CEO Greg Abbott is excited to invest in the community and support its growth.

“Abbott Image Solutions is proud to deepen our investment in Ohio and in the communities we serve,” said Greg Abbott, CEO of Abbott Image Solutions. “Our company is built on creativity, craftsmanship, and long-term relationships—and with the support of JobsOhio and OhioSE, we’re expanding our team, investing in new technology, and creating opportunities right here in Ohio.”

Abbott’s customers include municipalities, commercial developers, and financial institutions across the nation.

“This project not only represents significant investment but also a commitment to revitalization, job creation, and long-term economic growth,” said Julie Bolender, Director of Highland County Economic Development. “By transforming the vacant site into a center of innovation and productivity, this business is preserving our industrial heritage while shaping a stronger future. The reactivation of this facility will breathe new energy into the area, strengthen the local tax base, and provide opportunities for our residents to work, grow, and thrive right here in Highland County, Ohio. On behalf of Highland County, we welcome Abbott Image Solutions to Leesburg, Ohio and thank them for choosing to grow here.”

The project was supported by a JobsOhio Grant, which promotes economic development, business expansion, and job creation by funding eligible projects.

The project also received support through the JobsOhio Talent Acquisition program, which helps identify a company’s talent challenges and builds sustainable talent recruitment strategies that support every stage of a candidate’s journey.

“We congratulate Abbott Image Solutions on its decision to invest in Highland County,” said OhioSE President and CEO, Matt Abbott. “The new jobs and investment tied to this project will allow the company to continue to grow.”
