Peachtree City Foamcraft (Peachtree City, GA), a wholesale manufacturer of foamcore monument signs and HDU sign panels, has acquired PVC sign manufacturer The New Kit.

Peachtree City Foamcraft’s move to expand its manufacturing footprint comes as Lee Holcomb, who founded The New Kit in 1980, announces his retirement from the signage industry after 40 years.

The acquisition expands Peachtree City Foamcraft’s signage portfolio, which now includes the products for which The New Kit is best known — PVC signs, PVC panels and turnkey sign kits including street signs, stop signs and address plaques.

In a press release, Mike Fetter, general manager of Peachtree City Foamcraft, said the acquisition was a natural move.

“Lee and I have been friends for many years.” said Fetter. “Peachtree City Foamcraft has proudly recommended The New Kit PVC product for years. When I learned of Lee’s desire to retire, I immediately expressed our interest in continuing his legacy.”
