Southern California Bronze is a division of Southern California Trophy, founded in 1927, and one of the largest awards and recognition firms in the Western United States. In the early 2000’s, SoCal Trophy was one of the largest suppliers of custom cast plaques, letters and metal graphics. So with promising sales growth of architectural metal graphics, Karl Bathke, president, and Tom Skidmore, VP and General Manager, moved to the internet. SoCal Bronze was “Online”, and rapidly became one of the first and most successful resellers in the industry. They were pioneers in selling Foundry cast architectural plaques, letters and graphics online, and continue to lead the industry to this day.

With over 35 years in the design, marketing, manufacturing and sales of architectural graphics, Al Sterling served SoCal Bronze for over 15 years as their W.US Manager, the corporate manager for Matthews Intl., Bronze Div., Architectural Products. Directly from the foundry level, Al joined SoCal Bronze to bring additional resources to grow the SoCal Bronze brand. SoCal continues to be one of the largest National Suppliers of cast, etched and cut metal plaques, letters and graphics. And we now offer many new processes and materials, which you can view on this website. Sterling Cast Bronze is “Technical Marketing and Sales” for SoCal Bronze.
