MacroArt

Macro Art is a leading provider of premium graphics, branding, and signage solutions, serving diverse sectors such as retail, events, sports, property, and heritage. With a reputation for delivering high-quality and sustainable solutions, Macro Art has cultivated an impressive client portfolio that includes globally recognised brands like Gucci, River Island, Tobacco Dock, Hyundai, Pokémon, and the NFL.

YFM Equity Partners invested in Macro Art in 2014, supporting the business through a phase of strategic growth. The partnership focused on enhancing production capabilities, expanding its market presence, and strengthening the management team. Over the years, YFM also enabled investments in cutting-edge technology, sustainability initiatives, and employee development programs.

Under YFM’s ownership, Macro Art achieved significant milestones:

• More than doubled turnover and profits during the investment period.
• Expanded its customer base, securing high-profile clients across multiple industries.
• Invested in advanced printing technologies, enhancing production capacity and efficiency.
• Boosted sustainability credentials, completing the first carbon-neutral installation for the English Football League (EFL).
• Supported workforce development through apprenticeship programs and industry diversity initiatives such as Women in Print.

Outcome

In 2024, YFM successfully exited its investment in Macro Art through a sale to Moss Inc, a leading global provider of premium graphics and brand experiences. The transaction delivered a 2x return for YFM’s investors while positioning Macro Art for further international expansion and innovation under Moss’s ownership.
