Graphcom Acquires Successful Frederick Signage Firm

Our Service Offerings Just Doubled

Graphcom, Inc. and, Designs of the Times, a D.C.-area signage company, have agreed to terms that have made Designs of the Times (DOTT) a Graphcom company.

What This Means for Clients Like You

The acquisition adds to our existing signage division a host of production capabilities and employee experience. Pat Schoelen, former owner of DOTT and newly named Vice President of the combined Graphcom signage division, said “having routing, sandblasting stations and a paint room are just some of the many enhancements that DOTT brings to Graphcom.”

At the same time, DOTT’s longtime and loyal customer base will now be introduced to Graphcom’s core marketing services. “With print, creative and interactive capabilities now available to us as part of Graphcom, we can help clients define their message and reach the right audience in many more ways,” Schoelen said.

Signage production will remain at DOTT’s existing Frederick, MD facility, according to Greg Allen, CEO and founder of Graphcom, Inc. “We already have a strong presence in the Frederick area, and this decision only strengthens our commitment to those local clients and employees,” he said.

Graphcom President Matt Livelsberger agreed. “Bringing DOTT into our family of companies couldn’t be a more natural fit. We have the same values and same strong desire to push service and quality for our clients to new levels,” he said. “You just don’t meet people with that common purpose every day. We are looking forward to doing great work for our clients together.”
