Turbo Images has acquired Southwood Graphics, an Ontario-based fleet branding company with a 37-year history in vehicle graphics and design. The deal expands Turbo Images’ production and installation network, which already includes facilities in Mississauga, Ont., Montreal, Que., and Jackman, Maine.
“Joining Turbo Images marks an exciting new chapter,” the co-founders Sonia and Jeff Stairs said in a news release. “Our clients will gain expanded services, competitive pricing, and greater production capacity — while continuing to receive the personalized attention that has defined us for nearly four decades.”
Turbo Images president Pier Veilleux added the move strengthens the company’s ability to meet growing demand.
“This acquisition allows us to better respond to the rising demand for commercial vehicle branding graphics while optimizing our production capabilities,” he said. “By welcoming Southwood Graphics to the team, we are reinforcing our Ontario-Quebec network.”
The acquisition comes alongside other recent expansions. Turbo Images has opened a 10,000 sq.-ft. production facility in Jackman, Maine, expected to employ up to 20 people by the end of 2026. The company has also merged Lettrapub, a custom signage and large-format printing business, into its operations.
Combined with Toronto-based Turbo Studio, Turbo Images now offers end-to-end branding and installation services across North America, according to the release.
