Building Partnerships for Growth
More than 20 years ago, MC Sign (soon to be MC Group) developed a long-term growth strategy that first focused on building the foundation for a national network. As new opportunities arose and the company grew, MC Sign decided to pursue institutional investment to further expand its services throughout the country and to begin making strategic acquisitions.
The MC Sign team was fortunate to partner with a few highly motivated and experienced private equity firms over the years who were instrumental in helping us achieve our goals. Their teams, expertise, and support not only helped to advance our strategy but also to help shape us into the organization we are today.
