Mirus Capital Advisors announced that it advised the owners of Advanced Signing LLC, a leading architectural signage company based in Medway, Massachusetts, in the sale of the business to Poblocki Sign Company.  Mirus served as the exclusive financial advisor to Advanced Signing and the selling stockholders.

Advanced Signing designs, fabricates and installs custom architectural signs and signage systems which integrate its clients’ brand identity, environmental graphics and wayfinding.  The company provides turnkey design, fabrication and installation of interior signage, exterior signage, and large format graphics for clients in the corporate, healthcare, higher education, and multi-unit residential development sectors throughout New England.  “This partnership brings a new level of signage expertise, capability and professionalism to the Northeast.  We look forward to making an impact with our expanded capabilities and resources,” said Advanced Signing’s president and selling stockholder Bill McConaghy, who will continue to lead the company’s New England operations.

““I sought a transaction that would support the opportunity for continued growth for both the company and the employees, and Mirus achieved that through Poblocki’s acquisition,” said Mr. McConaghy.  “The professionalism, tactfulness and skillful negotiation Mirus displayed throughout the entire process was as much as I could have ever hoped for.”
