European event graphics and structures specialist Moss has been acquired by The Vomela Companies, backed by The Riverside Company. Vomela will merge its Fusion events business unit into Moss, which will operate under the unified name Moss, A Vomela Company. The brand will be led by Moss president and CEO Jason Popp.
“We thank EagleTree Capital who were outstanding partners. Their support through the pandemic and through three strategic acquisitions was invaluable.
“Similarly, we are excited to be back under the ownership of Riverside, the original PE owner of Moss and who acquired Vomela early in 2025,” said Popp.
The Vomela Companies is a leading North American provider of visual communications, graphics, and experiential events founded in 1955 and headquartered in Illinois.
“Moss has built an exceptional reputation for crafted experiential environments,” said Mark Auth, president and CEO of The Vomela Companies. “By adding Moss to Vomela, we are bringing together two organisations whose strengths naturally align. Moss’s solutions design and structural engineering expertise perfectly complements our scale in printing, fabrication, installation, and logistics… and with Moss’s established operations in the UK and Europe, we gain immediate international reach that expands what we can deliver for customers globally.”
Vomela has 20 production facilities and 1,600+ employees across North America and has supported global brands, major retailers and iconic events –from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the TCS New York City Marathon to nationwide fleet programmes and large-scale retail décor.
Popp added: “Vomela’s scale, infrastructure, and operational strength will enable us to serve customers with even greater reach, speed, and consistency. We are excited about the opportunities this partnership creates for our customers and our people.”
“Our investment in Moss has come full circle. Riverside acquired the company from the Moss family in 2000 and sold it in 2008,” said Riverside Partner Craig Kahler. “We are thrilled to have this remarkable company back in the fold to further our vision of Vomela as the most prestigious and impactful visual communications company in the world.”
The addition of Moss marks Vomela’s second acquisition since Riverside’s investment.
