NovaDura Ltd have acquired Durable Signs to become the Go to Specialists for Anti-Vandal Signage
Recyclable Sign specialists, NovaDura, announce the take over of Bridlington based Durable Signs. The move combines the two industry specialists in the anti-graffiti and vandal resistant market and follows up on the back of a very successful launch, 18 months ago, of their ecoDURA high pressure laminated paper brand which is 100% recyclable. Following the liquidation of Durable Signs, the property and assets were acquired by NovaDura; Durable Sign’s products will be integrated into NovaDura’s ‘primaDURA’ range.
The deal was negotiated between Glenn Dunleavey, Managing Director of NovaDura Ltd, and Sam Fraser, Director of Durable Signs. The move has safeguarded a number of jobs at the Carnaby Industrial Estate site and sees Sam Fraser continue as Technical Director and Kevin Fraser as Production Manager.
As a result of the acquisition, NovaDura will have greater in-house flexibility to continue targeting prestigious high street signage such as the banking sector, national heritage and railway and underground signage where their flagship product meets vehicle category ‘1a’ in tables 2 and 3 of BS 6853:1999 and satisfying the requirements of LUL1-085:Issue A2 for use on the London Underground.
Glenn Dunleavey, NovaDura Managing Director, said;
“We’re delighted to announce this acquisition, combing two leading companies within the sector is an exciting prospect and puts us in a really strong position for 2016. The NovaDura brand has gone from strength to strength and now we are the only serious choice for recyclable, anti-vandal and anti-graffiti signage. We’ll be combining our marketing and sales force with Durable Sign’s 14 years experience and exceptional product quality under the primaDURA brand, it’s the perfect marriage.”
