Production graphic supplier Moss has acquired Sign Up Systems to strengthen its live events business.
The deal adds the Nottinghamshire company’s patented extrusion and tensioning systems to Moss’s portfolio. The technology is designed to speed up installations and keep graphics taut across exhibitions, brand activations and large event structures.
Sign Up Systems has supplied projects including Goodwood Festival of Speed and Farnborough International Airshow. It has also worked with brands including Chanel, Jaguar Land Rover, Jo Malone and Porsche.
The acquisition builds on a 15-year working relationship between the two companies. Moss said it also strengthens its capability in outdoor and structural applications across international markets.
Sign Up Systems founder Jon Bromhead will retire. The senior team will report to Moss UK managing director Michael Green.
Green said: “Having worked alongside Jon and the team for the past 15 years, we have been constantly impressed with the company’s inventive, solution-focused ethos. Their deep knowledge of live events and structural applications has seen the development of extrusions that meet the rigorous demands of the sector, for example fast installation and durability in demanding environments.
The business will rebrand as Moss and continue operating from its Nottinghamshire facility, which provides in-house print, fabrication and aluminium manufacturing.
Harry Smith, project manager at Sign Up Systems, said: “We’re delighted to be joining the Moss team. Their global reach and ambition make them the perfect home for our future, and we’re excited about what can be achieved together.”
Moss president Jason Popp said: “We aim to be the leading global specialist production partner for branded experiences, and the addition of the talented Sign Up Systems team and their solutions help advance that strategy. Their patented extrusions and tensioning systems are a perfect fit for our growing outdoor capabilities and add to the products and services we can provide to our global client base.”
