Spicers announces plans to acquire Spandex Australia
Spicers Australia and the European owners of the Spandex Group intend to enter a sale agreement for Spicers Australia to acquire Spandex Australia*. Spicers Limited CEO David Martin, confirms: “Spandex Australia will join Spicers’ Australian operations in 2026. Spandex has a proud history in the Australian sign and display industry and we all look forward to welcoming Spandex Australia employees to the Spicers Group.”

Darren Milligan, Executive General Manager, Signet and Visual Communications, adds: “We are confident that this acquisition will collectively enable us to better serve all customer segments, by leveraging the strengths of both teams and their highly complementary portfolios. Delivering for our customers will remain our top priority.”
