So who are we and what do we do?
Icon Poly is a family-owned company based in central Nebraska, which started as a hobby and launched into a business in 1999. We started out by sculpting, sculpture point-up, and making custom fiberglass fabrication animals and sculptures by hand. Since then, we’ve expanded our capabilities to computerized sculpting, 3d foam milling, and laser digital sculpture enlargement. We also now use a proprietary manufacturing process that allows us to duplicate likenesses of sports and corporate mascots accurately, make sophisticated trade show displays, and make multiple 3d copies of a single design of paintable fiberglass sculptures and statues for community art projects.
With customers service and client satisfaction as our top priorities, we can start with as little as a simple sketch and bring ideas to reality using our state-of-the-art technology and the highest quality, environmentally friendly materials available.
WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT US
Icon Poly rose to the top of our list for custom molded fiberglass resin sculptures and public art projects following much research. Their experience and creativity were the first things that attracted us. Their timeliness, follow through and clear communications were factors that encouraged us to contract for our work with them. The very successful Clearwater's Dolphins project is due in a large part to Icon Poly's talent and team. The quality and design of the 6' tall dolphin statue almost sold itself. Icon Poly's ability to meet very thigh deadlines, coach us through installation options and deliver the dolphins repeatedly to our community was exceptional. What began in May 2012 as a onetime 30 day display has turned into an ongoing public art project spanning 12 counties in Florida. I highly recommend partnering with Icon Poly for their specialized work for which they provide excellent customer service, to further emphasize our pleasure in working with them, we have referred Icon Poly to other clients who are now also singing their praises.
Icon Poly’s staff and their expertise assisted us in becoming the main attraction at our national industry trade shows. I handle marketing and trade show exhibits for a domestic foundry and manufacturer for the water pipeline industry. We had just developed and marketed a seventy-two inch flexible ball joint in which the company wished to promote at that year’s trade show in Chicago. The actual unit, cast from ductile iron weighed 26,000 pounds making transportation and setup costs for trade show exhibits exuberant. After considerable research and talking to past clients I contacted Icon Poly. Their staff worked with me and my goals and developed a full scale hard-foam replica that is so realistic to this day still shocks people that it is not real. The new display keeps my exhibition costs to a minimum and provides a potent visual to our product line capabilities. I would not hesitate to utilize their services again.
Coxsackie's Hoot of the Owl Committee, born in 2016, had no experience in organizing community art projects, but really wanted to bring the joy of an art festival to the Coxsackie, NY area. Our hope was to ultimately raise funds for local charities and bring folks to our riverside village to see beautifully decorated owls, the symbol of Coxsackie. We could not have found a better partner than Icon Poly to help us bring the dream of "What a Hoot!" to life! Icon Poly artists created an owl sculpture just for us, listened to our concerns, and made all the changes we requested. The turnaround time for the design was amazing, as was the production time. In our very first festival we displayed 52 fabulously made, wonderfully decorated owls, and "What a Hoot!" was a huge success. We have learned a great deal as we have proceeded through the subsequent years, and Icon Poly has been delightful to work with and super accommodating at every step of the way!
