Where Craftsmanship Led To Innovation
Braille Tactile Signs Aust. has a long-standing connection with Village Roadshow and Village Cinemas, with roots dating back to the early 1990s through A.S.A.D. Signs & Precision Engravers.
This relationship reflects a shared focus on quality, detail, and high-end project delivery; values that continue to shape our approach today.
The Relationship
Through A.S.A.D. Signs, Roland Gatt worked closely with Village Roadshow and Warner Bros. across a range of cinema and retail projects, both locally and internationally.
This work included the design, prototyping, and manufacture of architecturally designed elements, contributing to environments recognised for their attention to detail, presentation, and high-quality finish.
The Origin
In the early 2000s, Village Roadshow required Braille Tactile Signage as part of their commitment to high quality, inclusive cinema environments. At that time, there were no established local options for Braille Tactile Signage in Australia.
Roland Gatt, through A.S.A.D. Signs & Co., was already working closely with Village Roadshow and Warner Brothers, delivering architecturally designed elements across their cinema projects locally and internationally – including their well-known ‘star door handles’. Known for their focus on detail and premium finishes, Village Roadshow sought a solution that aligned with these same high standards.
With a background in engineering, fabrication, and decades of signage experience, Roland undertook the research, development and prototyping required to create our very first Braille Tactile Sign solution.
This work marked the beginning of Braille Tactile Signs Aust.
The Outcome
The initial solution delivered for Village Roadshow met the requirements of the time, providing compliant, durable signage suitable for the environment.
From this foundation, the product and technology have continued to evolve, leading to the advanced solutions delivered today.
Value Over Time
Quality is proven over time.
What began as a project-driven solution has evolved into a specialist capability, shaped by ongoing development, real-world application, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Braille Tactile Signs Aust. focuses on delivering solutions that perform over time, supporting long-term reliability and consistent outcomes across projects.
