Showdown Displays Acquires Soft Signage Company Xarisma

Brooklyn Center, Minnesota-based Showdown Displays, makers of banners, flags, and other event and display products, announces its acquisition of Huntsville, Alabama-based Xarisma, a manufacturer of custom soft signage.

According to Showdown Displays, the acquisition joins two “like-minded and culturally compatible” companies that have been offering comparable products through slightly different reseller channels. “Once integrated into the Showdown Displays brand, the combined entities will offer a more comprehensive suite of both stock and custom portable lightweight display solutions,” Showdown Displays says.

“Xarisma’s creative branding solutions and innovative display development is an ideal complement to the current offerings of Showdown Displays,” says Kevin Walsh, president of Showdown Displays. “We’re equally excited to bring the added production capacity, expanded facility space and Xarisma’s expertise and talent in custom fabrications to the Showdown family.”

Showdown Displays’ headquarters will remain in Minnesota and Xarisma’s offices and 85,000-square-foot production facility-along with its 90 employees-will continue to operate in Alabama.
