Bill Levine is a Service Disabled Navy Veteran of Vietnam. As such, he was able to participate in New York State’s Veteran’s Outreach Program when he started WL Concepts in 2001. This dynamic program through SEAP (Self Employment Assistance Program) provided him a Veteran mentor, a well-decorated retired Navy Captain, with a wealth of information and direction to impart. Bill absorbed this knowledge and coupled it with his prior 20 years in the signage, graphics and branding industry to become NYS’s Veteran Business of the Year as the President and CEO of WL Concepts & Production, Inc. He and his team continue to take the industry by storm!

Through his business strategies and tenacity, Bill and his team have become a part of the global market. WL Concepts has grown in size, technological capabilities, sales and partner satisfaction. WL Concepts provides design/build solutions to both the State and the Federal Governments, as well as many significant names throughout the private sector. A few project highlights in 2022 include the design/build Clean Energy, Green Environment exhibition at the New York State Fair (with raves that it is the closest to Disney that the State Fair has ever seen); comprehensive wayfinding signage and environmental graphics packages for Veterans Hospitals throughout the US; signage, graphic and branding programs for SUNY: design/build beautification projects for Naval Special Warfare in San Diego; NYS’s EVolve Initiative for electric charging stations throughout the State; and, the Electric Vehicle discovery center at the Javits auto show. WL is currently working on projects with a maximum impact to the environment. In the entertainment industry, WL acted as a subcontractor for the new build of the Islander’s UBS Arena, and prime contractor for the US Open.

Bill’s team of experts work on projects from concept design through fabrication and implementation, taking on all roles and responsibilities to ensure our clients have the most impactful results. Bill and his team seamlessly integrate the client’s dream into a reality more rewarding than they imagined. The renovation and completion of New York’s Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library was a resounding success followed by the design/build of the LT. Michael P Murphy Navy SEAL Museum in Sayville, NY.

In addition to the national and global projects, Bill provides charitable services to organizations close to his heart; some of which include United Cerebral Palsy, Literacy Nassau and the Navy SEAL Museum. It brings him great joy to be able to share his successes.

About seven years ago, Bill’s youngest son James joined the company. James is a Cornell graduate from The Hotel School. The addition of James’ hospitality and business leadership expertise have brought WL Concepts to a whole new level. He is able to stimulate conversation with clients as though they were his guests; and then his supportive team of experts gets to work on fulfilling the clients’ dreams. It is a win for everyone!

It is with pride that Bill continues to run WL Concepts as a Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business. That designation provides the company with the opportunity to participate in the design and development of enterprise throughout the Country.
