Duggal Visual Solutions Expands Retail Display and Fabrication Capabilities
Per GlobeNewswire's September 22 release, Duggal Visual Solutions — already a heavyweight in visual communications and retail display — has acquired Design to Print, a trade show and event graphics specialist.

The deal pushes Duggal's manufacturing footprint to 14 locations and folds custom fabrication and large-scale experiential display capabilities into an already broad retail fixtures operation. For anyone working a floor plan, this is the kind of consolidation that quietly reshapes who you call when the endcap needs a hero piece by Thursday morning.
What the bundle means on your floor
Let's translate the press language into floor language. We're not just adding a vendor — we're adding a single source for the kind of work that used to require three separate briefs. Retail fixtures for your standard gondola and wall systems, custom fabrication for the one-off feature wall that anchors a seasonal conversion, and large-scale experiential displays for pop-ups, brand activations, and event-driven traffic spikes. When one shop can run your in-store graphic program and your out-of-store event build-out under one purchase order, you compress lead times, reduce the handoff errors between vendors, and — here's where your CFO will suddenly find budget — collapse duplicated project management overhead into a single account team.
The "14 locations" detail matters more than it reads. A wider manufacturing footprint means redundancy on rush runs, regional fabrication that cuts freight damage, and the option to stage closer to your flagship openings. If you've ever watched a custom endcap arrive damaged because it rode a single truck across the country, you already know why a regional production map is a sightline-of-the-supply-chain win.
What to put on the brief before you call
Before you treat this like any other vendor refresh, walk your store with a fresh eye and pull the things this new bundle can actually solve. Then run this quick checklist:
- Identify your dead zones — mid-aisle stretches where dwell time flatlines and no endcap is carrying the weight. Flag which ones need a custom fabrication hero and which a refreshed retail fixture graphic can fix.
- Audit your event calendar. If you're running pop-ups, trunk shows, or seasonal activations, map every handoff between your fixture vendor and your graphics vendor. Those seams are where budget leaks and installs slip.
- Pressure-test your experiential moments. If your flagship entrance isn't converting foot traffic into engaged shoppers — the principle travel retail designers are now applying with digital facades and deliberate sightlines so product can lead — flag it. Your brief should ask for a solution that creates the conditions for merchandise to perform, not just a pretty install.
- Get the regional footprint answered. Ask directly which of the 14 locations will fabricate your job, what the freight path looks like, and what the damage-replacement SLA is.
The bottom line for us: when a visual display provider widens its capability set and its geographic reach in a single move, your vendor shortlist deserves the same update. Get the brief ready before you pick up the phone.
