History

We’ve been in this game for over 40 years because we’ve evolved over time and trends.

We started out as ACME Props and Sets, the go-to-source for still photography and television commercials, then became ACME Production Services, providing support service for event production, and that’s when business really started to take off.

By the early 1990’s, we had established an extensive portfolio. From the fabrication of exhibits such as the Milwaukee County Zoo’s Aviary to lighting an elaborate deep tunnel exhibit for the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District, our reputation grew, and in 1991, we incorporated as ACME Corp. with a full menu of lighting and staging solutions.

ACME’s story is a true tale of a brand’s evolution and today we stand proud as a company with a strong history, a fierce desire to always to better, and a love for our industry that is reflected in everything we do.

“I want to thank you for your efforts in making our product launch an enormous success. My boss cried and the product manager hugged me so I’d say I get to keep my job! After partnering with you on the pre-production for our show, I can assure you we will be working together again.”
