Signboard maker Kremer Signs has bought Digital Office Systems, the UK’s leading supplier of LED and digital display products for estate agents, creating the first full-service signage service for the sector.

While Kremer Signs is well-known for its For Sale, Sold and To Let/Let signs including a recent move into Smart boards featuring QR tech, this acquisition gives it a much wider range of products to offer estate agencies including digital in-branch signage, maps and window displays.

The deal also makes Kremer Signs the exclusive UK distributor of Vitrine Media, a French-based but global supplier of LED and LCD display technology for estate agency windows with operations in 17 countries.

“This is a big moment for our industry,” says Gary Gosney, MD of Kremer Signs.

“By combining traditional and digital signage under one roof, and with the exclusive Vitrine Media range, we’re offering estate agents the most complete signage solution in the UK.”

Estate agents

Gordon Coupe, former MD of Digital Office Systems and now Associate Director at Kremer Signs, says: “This merger is a natural fit. We’ve worked closely with Kremer Signs for many years and share the same commitment to innovation and service.

“By joining forces, we’re giving estate agents an unbeatable combination of quality, expertise, and convenience.”

The two directors says all staff from both businesses will be retained, ensuring continuity for existing clients and a “seamless transition under the new, integrated offering”.

As any house hunters will notice these days, many agents are moving from paper-based window displays to digital ones that service ‘property content’ rather than just listings.
