RoadSafe Traffic Systems Inc, a Chicago-based provider of traffic control and pavement marking services, has acquired Innovative Marking Systems (IMA) of Bluffdale. Innovative is a supplier of roadway striping and removal, epoxy and waterborne paint pavement marking, and sign installation services.
RoadSafe said he acquisition of IMS will further establish its position in the Mountain West region and expansion into the Utah market. The transaction follows RoadSafe’s recent growth in the Pacific Northwest and West Coast, which has become an increasingly active region for the company as part of its western U.S. strategy.
IMS founder and CEO Paul Cheever will continue to lead the Utah operation along with the current management team.
“We are excited to join the RoadSafe family,” said Cheever. “By joining RoadSafe, we will continue to provide our customers with excellent service while investing in our resources and our team. RoadSafe’s focus on company culture, safety and customer service aligns well with our values and makes this a seamless choice for IMS.”
“The addition of IMS expands our service offerings while establishing our geographic presence in attractive, high-growth regions,” said David Meirick, CEO of RoadSafe. “Under the leadership and direction of Paul and Mary Cheever, IMS has a strong reputation in the industry, and their level of service, combined with their expertise, make them a strong fit for RoadSafe.”
