GLASGOW-based signage company Prosigns has completed the acquisition of Centurion Signs, a signage and graphics company based in East Kilbride.
The move is described as a ‘bold vision’ to protect jobs in the mid to long-term and create two sustainable businesses that provide signage products that will now be solely manufactured in Scotland for a wide range of industry sectors.
Established in 2008 by Alex McGrath, Prosigns works with clients in the housebuilding industry including Taylor Wimpey and Miller Homes.
The company invests in printing technology and has brought one of the only Platinum Q3 Hybrid printers from Liyu UK to Scotland.
Alex McGrath said, “Overnight, we have become Scotland’s second-largest signage and graphics company, and we’re really excited to be looking ahead to a bright future that brings together our vast experience at Prosigns, combined with the superb quality that Centurion has been delivering for its range of customers since 1971.
“Our strategic vision is to fully design, fabricate, manufacture and install each of our customers’ projects. This comprehensive approach will allow us to maintain complete control over the quality and delivery of every aspect of each job for our current customer base and new potential clients.”
While both brands will continue to operate separately, a new business structure is said to safeguard 80% of Centurion’s workforce.
