The merger combines Orbus Exhibit & Display Group’s world-class service, quality, print capability and extensive portfolio of signage, portable, modular, fabric structure and custom exhibit and display solutions with Fabric Images’ expertise in creating innovative, award-winning, custom fabric architectural solutions for exhibits, events, hospitality, retail and commercial interiors.
