Oat Foundry

Oat Foundry is a Philadelphia-based engineering and manufacturing company that designs and produces custom analog technology. Best known for its modern Split Flap displays and other kinetic signage systems, Oat Foundry was founded in 2013. Since pioneering its signature Split Flap display, Oat Foundry has continued to blend mechanical engineering, software development, and industrial design to create tactile, interactive displays for hospitality, retail, transportation, and corporate environments.

Today, Oat Foundry has built a global reputation as the leading producer of modern Split Flap displays and kinetic signage installations, serving clients ranging from boutique restaurants and luxury hotels to Fortune 500 companies and stadiums worldwide.

At the core of Oat Foundry’s brand is its simple but defining mission: “We Build Cool Stuff.” A defining aspect of the Oat Foundry brand is its commitment to in-house manufacturing and American production. Many materials used in production are sourced locally — often within a 75-mile radius — allowing the company to maintain tight control over quality and supply chains.

With a strong emphasis on durability and longevity, Oat Foundry’s analog signage modules are designed to withstand tens of millions of rotations, and prototypes are extensively tested before being shipped to clients. This focus on longevity contrasts with many modern digital signage systems, which often require frequent replacement or upgrades.
