Olympus Group (Milwaukee) and Screaming Images (Las Vegas) have merged to create a combined organization focused on servicing the tradeshow, event, entertainment, and sports markets, the two companies announced on Thursday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The payroll of the combined company includes 250 employees spread across five print production facilities in Las Vegas, Orlando, Milwaukee, Nashville, and Denver. All employees will remain with the organization, which expects to add 25-50 jobs during the coming year to support planned growth from the merger, according to a release.
“Screaming Images is a perfect fit for Olympus,” says Brian Adam, president of Olympus Group. “We expand our footprint and enter the largest tradeshow market in the U.S. partnering with a well-established print company cut from the same cloth as us. I love Screaming Images’ can-do attitude. These guys will tackle the craziest projects. Heck they put a giant XX’ jersey on the Statue of Liberty at the New York-New York Hotel. I love that!”
James Swanson, president of Screaming Images, says, “I can’t wait to take our business to the rest of the United States. Joining forces with Olympus gives us a national presence where we can tackle projects of any size. Culturally our approach to business and the way we value your employees was nearly identical. Perfect fit for me and my team.”
