Global visual communications company Modulex Group has acquired an initial 20 per cent ownership stake in US architectural signage specialist APCO, with the agreement taking effect from 1 January 2027.
The strategic partnership establishes a framework that could see Modulex increase its ownership in the future, while allowing both companies to continue operating independently and maintain business continuity for customers and employees.
The move brings together APCO’s established position in the US signage and wayfinding market with Modulex’s international network, global project management capabilities and broader product offering.
APCO President Dillon Cobb said the partnership followed years of discussions and was based on finding a company with shared values and a similar commitment to customers and staff. Modulex CEO Ketil M. Staalesen described APCO as a respected organisation with deep industry expertise and said the agreement would create opportunities for long-term growth.
APCO will continue to trade under the APCO Signs brand from its existing US locations while working with Modulex to identify opportunities for collaboration and added customer value.
