Rowmark, with headquarters in Findlay, OH, acquired Triline Sign Systems of Milan, Italy on January 29. Triline will be incorporated into Rowmark’s burgeoning ClearPath Sign Systems Division which supplies sign systems and components to sign makers around the world. Since Clearview’s acquisition of Rowmark on December 31, 2006, the company has made four add-on acquisitions that have dramatically expanded its geographic reach and worldwide market share.

Rowmark is the dominant manufacturer worldwide of laminated and co-extruded plastic sheet products for engraving applications. The company also produces high quality plastic sheet products for a variety of other applications as well as sign products and decorative laminate films.

"The recent transactions completed by Senior Care and Rowmark will allow them to extend their market leading positions,” said James G. Andersen, Clearview’s co-Managing Partner. “While general economic conditions have not been favorable, the environment for strategic acquisitions which improve our companies’ competitive positions has been outstanding. We intend to continue to deploy our fund to support add-on acquisitions and to establish new platforms.”
