The Vomela Companies (St. Paul, MN), a provider of visual communications, graphics and experiential events, has announced the acquisition of Moss Inc. (Franklin Park, IL), a producer of premium event and retail graphics, complex structures and custom installations for innovative brand experiences. This strategic move combines two powerhouses serving the live events and experiential industry, according to a post on Moss’s website.
As part of the acquisition, Vomela will merge its Fusion events business unit into Moss, which will operate under the unified name Moss, A Vomela Company. This preserves and leverages Moss’s renowned and leading global brand which will be led by Moss President and CEO Jason Popp.
Founded in 1955, Moss is known for its award-winning tension fabric architecture, modular systems, complex structures and immersive experiential environments. The company serves many of the world’s most recognizable brands, agencies, exhibit houses and architectural partners, and has a strong presence globally with operations in Germany, Poland, the UK and Spain, per the web post.
“Moss has built an exceptional reputation for crafted experiential environments,” Mark Auth, president and CEO of The Vomela Companies, is quoted in the post. “By adding Moss to Vomela, we are bringing together two organizations whose strengths naturally align. Moss’s solutions design and structural engineering expertise perfectly complements our scale in printing, fabrication, installation and logistics. Together, we create the most capable experiential and events company in the world, and with Moss’s established operations in the UK and Europe, we gain immediate international reach that expands what we can deliver for customers globally.”
With more than 20 production facilities and 1,600-plus employees across North America, Vomela supports global brands, major retailers and iconic events — from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the TCS New York City Marathon to nationwide fleet programs and large-scale retail décor. Integrating Moss’s engineering, fabrication and global footprint enhances Vomela’s ability to serve clients wherever their brand experiences come to life.
