Manufacturing is vertically integrated at a 180,000 sq ft headquarters covering print (latex, UV, and dye-sublimation on 1.6m–5m printers), fabrication, paint, finishing, and lighting, complemented by operations in the UK, Germany, Poland, and China following nine acquisitions under private-equity sponsor EagleTree Capital and parent Vomela Companies.
