Moss Accelerates Live Events Expansion with Sign Up Systems Acquisition
Moss, a leading producer of premium graphics, complex structures and custom installations has acquired Sign Up Systems, the innovative UK developer of patented extrusion and tensioning systems. The move adds further momentum to the business’s live events expansion, strengthening its offer in high-performance branded environments.
Sign Up Systems Patented Technology Built For Live Events
Known for turning live event challenges into engineered solutions, Sign Up Systems’ patented technology is designed for the realities of the sector, enabling faster installs with reliably tensioned, high-impact graphics across exhibitions, activations and large-scale event structures. Its solutions have supported high-profile live environments including Goodwood Festival of Speed and Farnborough International Airshow, alongside projects for brands such as Chanel, Jaguar Land Rover, Jo Malone and Porsche.
Strengthening Moss's Global Live Events Capability
The acquisition, which builds on a long-standing working relationship between the companies, gives Moss added capability in a market where speed, finish and technical reliability matter. It also deepens the group’s global offering for outdoor and structural applications, where Sign Up Systems has executed projects in multiple countries, including continental Europe and the United States.
Sign Up Systems’ founder, Jon Bromhead, retires from the business with the senior team now reporting to Moss UK Managing Director Michael Green. Commenting on the acquisition Michael 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.
After more than 40 years in the industry, we wish Jon all the very best for his well-deserved retirement and thank him for the exceptionally strong foundations he has provided the business with.”
The business will rebrand as Moss and continue to operate from its Nottinghamshire facility, which includes significant in-house print and fabrication. This features two 5-metre UV printers, one 3.2-metre hybrid UV printer and two 3.2-metre dye sublimation printers, supported by a 3.2-metre cutting bed, alongside aluminium cutting, CNC and rolling capability and welding capacity.
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 operates worldwide with operations in the US, Germany, Poland, Spain and the UK as a division of US-based Vomela. This latest acquisition strengthens that platform with proven invention, patented systems and specialist live events expertise.
Moss President Jason Popp commented: “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.”
