An Italian distributor of roll and rigid media to the sign and display industry, Sanvido SRL, has been acquired by Spandex.

The company, based in Bologna, has been owned for over 45 years by its founder Beniamino Sanvido. Over the years it has delivered a wide range of products and services. The company can look back on decades of industry experience, selling both full size and custom and cut-to-size rigid sheets with its own logistics capability.

Rob Jackson, group vice president, said, ‘The acquisition of Sanvido offers excellent growth opportunities for Spandex but it’s even more interesting for our customers within the Italian region who can now benefit from a vastly expanded product portfolio, including custom cut rigid sheets. Today’s market can be very competitive and with the acquisition of Sanvido we are committed to offer both Spandex and Sanvido customers the widest range of innovative products from the leading brands, with best-in-class stock availability, delivery options, service and support. All backed by our unrivalled depth of industry expertise’.
