The first joint venture company is Bartco UK which will be Europe’s first manufacturer of portable, solar-powered, five-colour matrix variable message signs, according to the firm.

It will be co-located in the UK with 6918 Mobile Visual Information Systems (MVIS), a member of the P&D Specialist Services group. It will tackle the UK, European and northern hemisphere markets.
