PBA Industries is the manufacturing and assembly division of BVRS. More than 75 percent of PBA Industries workers are blind and vision impaired craftsmen who create a variety of products for both public and private sectors. Our products include construction safety products, portable highway signs, signage, textiles, and silk-screened items. Custom work is provided through our contract manufacturing service.
