OMG! acquires 40-year old sign company Adherettes

Australian ‘signage-and-everything-related’ company OMG! has acquired 40 year-old Port Melbourne sign company, Adherettes.

 “I’ve long respected and admired the enormous breadth of expertise Adherettes accumulated over the past 40 years and I look forward to integrating their skill sets into OMG! This acquisition refines even further what we do best, allowing us to further extend our premium offering to the out-of-home advertising and public art arenas,” says OMG! CEO Joey Bacic.

OMG! was established by Joey in 2013 and started as a builder of premium facade signage in Australia, drawing an already impressive list of clients including Lend Lease, Scentre Group/Westfield, Accor Hotels, Dior and Cartier. 

The company specialises in the execution of branded environments, national rollouts, architectural wayfinding, environmental and digital installations, readily turning computer renders into an experiential reality for its clients.

The unprecedented challenge of COVID-19 has been a disruptive game changer for most industries, especially out of home, but Joey believes being able to leverage Adherettes’ outstanding detailed drawing and engineering capabilities, their R&D and high-quality reputation, will create new job opportunities across the country. 

“We are fortunate to be one of the few industries permitted to keep working in the COVID-19 environment, and OMG! is determined to play our part in ensuring the construction sector continues to thrive.

“Through our staff and network of suppliers, hundreds of families are on this journey with us and are keen to keep things moving. We expect to keep employing people to fulfil our growing work demands locally and internationally,” he adds.

This latest deal is just the start of OMG!’s ambitions, with big plans for the company over the next year seeing OMG! expand into Singapore and along the San Andreas fault line (i.e. San Francisco down to California).  

“We have the grit and determination to outwork anyone, as demonstrated by the fact that the majority of our business has been won by tender, or come through word of mouth and referral. I am exceptionally proud of the partnerships our team has been able to secure and look forward to contributing to our clients’ ongoing success,” concludes Joey.
