Encore Commercial Named Comerica Bank’s Small Business of the Month

 

We’ve got some exciting news to share—Encore Commercial Products (you might know us better as Post Guard) was just named the Comerica Bank Small Business of the Month for June 2025!

This recognition means a lot to us. Not only because it’s coming from Comerica, a bank with deep roots in Detroit and a real commitment to supporting local businesses—but also because it puts a spotlight on the hard work our team puts in every single day.

As part of the program, we were honored during the June 7 Detroit Tigers game at Comerica Park, where our company was featured on the stadium’s massive LED ribbon boards and scoreboard. That kind of visibility in front of tens of thousands of fans isn’t something you get every day. We also had the chance to use a private suite at the ballpark to host some of our employees and clients—a small but meaningful thank-you to the people who help make our success possible.

What It Means to Be Recognized

Encore Commercial Products started with a simple mission: protect what matters. Our flagship product line—Post Guard bollard covers—was born out of the need to make safety look better. Bollards are built for protection, but they don’t have to be boring. Over the years, we’ve expanded into a full line of site furnishings and safety products for commercial and industrial facilities, helping customers across the U.S. protect their people, property, and infrastructure.

Being recognized by Comerica means our work is getting noticed. And more importantly, it means that companies like ours—built from the ground up, driven by values, and focused on the customer—still matter in today’s business landscape.

Comerica’s Support Makes a Difference

The Comerica Small Business of the Month program is more than just a shoutout. It’s a partnership between Comerica Bank and the Detroit Tigers designed to give small businesses real, tangible exposure. Every selected business gets promoted not just during a Tigers game, but also across Comerica’s and the Tigers’ social media channels.

For a company like ours, this kind of platform is invaluable. We’ve always believed in staying focused and doing one thing really well. Recognition like this helps introduce us to new audiences—businesses, facility managers, architects, and property owners who might not have heard of Post Guard yet, but who care about safety and site aesthetics.

We’re also grateful to Comerica for understanding what small businesses really need: not just funding, but visibility, partnership, and opportunity. We’re proud to stand alongside other great local companies being recognized this season.

Why This Matters

Encore Commercial is based in Farmington Hills, Michigan, but our reach is national. We ship bollard covers and safety products all over the country. Still, we’ve always been proud of our Michigan roots, and this recognition hits especially close to home. Comerica has been a fixture in Detroit for over 175 years, and we’re honored to be part of a program that’s investing in the future of Michigan small businesses.

This isn’t just a win for us—it’s a win for our team, our customers, and the broader community we serve. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or just recently learned about what we do, thank you for being part of the journey.

Keep an eye out at Comerica Park this summer—you might just see Post Guard up on the scoreboard again. And if you’re ever looking for products that protect and perform, you know where to find us.
