PODD DISPLAY AND FSD TO MERGE 1 MARCH 2016

A merger between two major players in the South African branding, exhibitions and display industries, Podd (www.podd.co.za) and FSD (www.fullstretchdisplay.com) is set to take place on 1 March 2016.

The merged entity, that will be known as Gawk Visual Engineers, has a vision  to become an industry innovator with a reputation for unparalleled service and delivery, yet remain completely approachable at all levels while genuinely taking their clients’ aspirations for branding success to heart.

Through a relationship dating back eight years, the two companies have forged strong ties based on mutual respect. Podd also served as an active collaborator on the development and application of the renowned and patented FSD tensioned fabric exhibition system, manufactured in South Africa and distributed throughout America, UK, Australia and Brazil as Triga. Podd’s roots in the South African exhibition and display industry date back more than thirty years.

With mutual aspirations to grow their respective brands and an existing desire to optimally service their clientele, the founders of both companies felt it a natural progression to join forces in order to achieve their common goals. The marriage of skills and resources both brands bring to Gawk are set to bring tangible value to current and future users of their products and services.

Their versatile product range, coupled with their in-house design and development, large format printing and production capability, will make them a sought after supplier in the brand, retail and exhibitions industry, and is further backed up by a solid research and development process showcasing new and regular innovations.
