DBi Services has acquired the assets of the contracting division of Prismo Road Markings T/A Ennis Traffic Safety Solutions, a subsidiary of Ennis Paint.

The contracting division has several strategic locations, employing over 100 people across the United Kingdom, while DBi Services, headquartered in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, USA, provides diversified infrastructure maintenance service solutions to governments, departments of transportation, railroads, utilities and large industries throughout the world.

This latest acquisition is said to result in the formation of one of the world’s largest privately-owned striping businesses and provides continued career opportunities to all employees.

The executive management of Ennis Traffic Safety Solutions has decided to concentrate on its core area of business, which is manufacturing road marking products, high friction resins and other infrastructure safety solutions.

It believes that the innovative way DBi Services manages its North American contracting operations will ensure that its operation in the UK will continue to be the sustainable provider of high value safety marking services. Ennis Traffic Safety Solutions will continue to consult with DBi Services to expand the business internationally.

DBi Services will operate the business under the name of DBI Prismo Contracting Services, and intends to maintain operations in the current UK locations.
