A Key Step in Its International Growth Plan

 

Saint-Georges, August 21, 2025 – Turbo Images, independently ranked as a tier one North American provider of vehicle graphics and fleet branding solutions, today announced the acquisition of Ontario-based Southwood Graphics, a respected industry player with a 37-year track record. With Turbo Images’ established production, stocking, and installation facilities in Jackman, Maine (USA), Mississauga, Ontario, and Montreal-Quebec (Canada), this acquisition strengthens Turbo Images’ international footprint and expands its capacity to meet the growing demand in the fleet branding market.

 

A 37-Year Legacy of Expertise and Services

Founded by Sonia and Jeff Stairs, Southwood Graphics earned its reputation through quality vehicle branding, creative design, and dependable service. Its integration into Turbo Images is a natural step forward, enhancing innovation, efficiency, and customer value.

“Joining Turbo Images marks an exciting new chapter,” said Jeff and Sonia Stairs Co-Founders. “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.”

 

Shared Values, Expanded Capabilities

While Southwood Graphics has specialized in fleet service vehicles and large vehicle branding graphics, Turbo Images sees the acquisition as a natural complement to its service offering. “This acquisition allows us to better respond to the rising demand for commercial vehicle branding graphics while optimizing our production capabilities,” said Pier Veilleux, President of Turbo Images. “By welcoming Southwood Graphics to the team, we are reinforcing our Ontario–Québec network, staying true to our commitment to quality, speed, and innovation, and further expanding the scope of our services.”

 

Strategic U.S. Expansion: New Jackman, Maine Facility

Turbo Images has opened a new 10,000-square-foot production facility in Jackman, Maine (USA). Already operational with a team of up to 10 employees, the plant is expected to create 20 new jobs in the U.S. by the end of 2026. This strategic investment was made to better support our clients with operations in the United States.

 

A Complete One-Stop Shop 

Turbo Images also recently announced the merger of Lettrapub under its brand, bringing together Lettrapub’s expertise in custom signage, large format printing, with Turbo Images’ established fleet branding capabilities. Combined with Toronto-based Turbo Studio, the company’s branding and graphic design division, Turbo Images now offers a comprehensive end-to-end solution—from design, production of signage, and full-scale fleet branding and north-american-wide installation.
