SIGNATURE SYSTEMS GROUP LEVERAGES GROWTH IN ACQUISITION

New York, New York – Signature Systems Group, LLC announced that Cleveland-based private equity firm Linsalata Capital Partners has acquired a majority interest in Signature, previously owned by Dubin Clark & Co. of Greenwich, Connecticut. Signature designs, manufactures, and sells a broad range of specialty flooring and fencing products for the special event, oil & gas, construction, sports and trade show industries. Headquartered in New York City, Signature has sales, manufacturing and distribution centers in Los Angeles, Orlando, Baltimore, and the UK, and ships more than 10,000 orders a year to clients across the globe.
 “Growth is our mission and what attracted us (Linsalata Capital and Signature) to each other,” explained Arnon Rosan, founder and CEO of Signature Systems. “We wanted to go with Linsalata because they truly understand and embrace the entrepreneurial spirit that drives our company and each of our employees.” After supplying more than 2,000,000ft² of temporary roadways and outdoor flooring for the 2012 London Olympics and launching MegaDeck, a heavy-duty access and matting product that was an instant hit with the oil and gas industry, Signature is hard at work designing new products to propel the company even further on its upward trajectory.
“Signature is a great opportunity for LinCap,” said Daniel L. DeSantis, Managing Director at Linsalata Capital Partners, “Arnon and his team have done a wonderful job building a platform that leverages strong product development, a unique sales and marketing driven culture and exceptional service capabilities. We believe the growth prospects for Signature are very strong.”
 “The Signature team is looking forward to partnering with LinCap and leveraging their operating experience in manufacturing and distribution as we focus on our exciting near term strategic growth initiatives,” says Rosan. Linsalata Capital Partners’ combined operational experience and strong financial capabilities make them uniquely qualified to guide and facilitate Signature Systems Group’s inexorable growth and development.

Signature Systems Europe is Moving Up

After a period of spectacular growth, Signature (Fencing & Flooring) Systems Europe Ltd is moving into new markets with a new website and a new flagship warehouse and office space in Darlington, UK. Signature manufactures, sells, and hires modular flooring and fencing products which they previously marketed mainly to the special events industry. Just a few years after their American parent company, Signature Systems Group, LLC opened the Darlington branch, they have expanded to cater to new markets including construction, energy exploration, the military, disaster relief, exhibitions, trade shows, and sport facilities;  providing new products such as carpet, artificial turf, heavy-duty access mats, and permanent gymnasium flooring.  All of this growth has led Signature Systems Europe to relocate to a larger facility that can accommodate their growing staff and warehouse their considerably larger catalogue. Today they launch their new website, www.signaturesystemseurope.co.uk to promote and support their growing operations in the UK and Ireland, Europe and beyond.

“We’ve managed to grow and thrive by following the business model of our parent company, competing with larger companies on price and quality while providing the level of customer service normally associated with small businesses,” said UK Director Tony Booth when asked about their startling success amid an uncertain economy. “Because we had the full backing and support of Signature, we (Signature Systems Europe) have been able to secure and complete some of the biggest contracts in the UK special events industry, including the 2012 Olympics where we provided more than 200,000 square metres of vehicular and pedestrian trackway to 25 venues. It’s like a self-feeding machine; the more we grow, the bigger the contracts we secure, which leads to more growth and bigger contracts.”

Signature Systems Europe aims to continue their exponential growth while maintaining their small company mentality. “The industrial, trade show, and sports industries aren’t very different from special events in that the quality of our relationships is as important as the quality of our products. Our clients have to be able to trust us to make their deadlines, accommodate their unique needs, and respond promptly and professionally should any problems arise. It is also essential that our smaller clients know that they are just as important to us as the larger ones.” Tony went on to explain that while the new markets they are tapping into may seem disparate, many of Signature’s core products are extremely versatile and have already been in use by those sectors. Signature is now offering a full range of products suited to those industries and is marketing their industry-specific uses and applications.
