​​​RSM's M&A team has advised leading graphics, branding and signage solutions company Macro Art on its sale to global premium graphics producer Moss Inc (‘Moss’), supporting the buyer’s plans for UK expansion.

​​Founded in 1992, Macro Art is an award-winning, high-end graphics provider based in St Neots, Cambridgeshire, working with clients including luxury retailers, broadcasters, sports organisations, and theme parks. Macro Art’s managing director Michael Green and the company’s senior management team remained in their roles as part of the acquisition, with all UK staff also retaining their positions.​

​Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois Moss Inc is a leading producer of premium graphics, complex structures and custom installations for brand experiences. The deal accelerates Moss’s strategy of building sustainable, high-quality branded experiences for global clients and expanding its footprint into the UK market.

​RSM’s team advised Macro Art on its sale, negotiating the key terms and project managing the transaction through to completion. The deal has enabled private equity investor YFM to exit the businesses and Macro Art to continue its growth journey, with Moss enabling the business to increase its global footprint.
