Graphics and custom installations producer, Moss, has purchased printer Rocket Graphics to expand its UK footprint, the third such purchase in 16 months
Moss, a producer of graphics and custom installations for branded experiences, has acquired Rocket Graphics, a UK-based large-format printer serving creative agencies and live event organisers.
Launched 25 years ago, Rocket Graphics focuses on providing eco-friendly graphic solutions for exhibitions and events.
According to Moss UK, the acquisition was made to expand its UK footprint and strengthen its position in the corporate brand experiences and live events space.
Michael Green, managing director of Moss UK, will lead the combined business with Rocket Graphics director and co-founder, Tim Porter, joining the senior management team as group account director.
The Rocket Graphics acquisition is the third by Moss in the past 16 months, following its recent purchase of US-based Stretch Shapes. MacroArt UK was acquired by Moss in November 2023, leading to the company’s eventual rebrand in April 2024.
The global Moss brand operates in the US, Germany, and Poland, as well as the UK.
Commenting on the purchase, Green says: “These two businesses make for a great strategic fit – a shared passion for transforming our environmental legacy, imaginative and creative teams, and a customer-centred ethos that make us a trusted partner in our fast-paced, fast-moving industry.
“We look forward to welcoming Tim, our new colleagues, and our new clients to Moss”.
Porter adds: “After 25 incredible years building the business, I’m thrilled to join forces with Moss, a company that shares our values, our commitment to sustainability and a belief that outstanding customer service is a fundamental business imperative.
“Together, we can deliver even greater innovation and value to our clients.”
Moss UK recently launched a new Carbon Calculator tool which provides a detailed carbon emissions report for each graphics and branding project commissioned by its clients, reportedly the first of its kind for the UK wide-format industry.
The tool was presented by Moss UK at its stand at the recent Event Production Show 2025, a trade show for live event promoters and producers which took place on February 26th and 27th at the ExCeL in London.
As well as its sustainable endeavours, the company is aiming to promote young people to enter the print and signage industries, with a student open day set to launch at its UK headquarters.
The open day event, which will take place on the March 7th, will welcome a range of students from the local area to find out more about the company, aiming to spark interests in future careers in signage, print, and graphics.
Alongside the open day, Moss UK is partnering with non-profit organisation, Inspire 2 Ignite, to provide a range of apprenticeships and traineeships for young people including those in local sixth forms and those not in education, employment, or training (NEET).
