Arena will now offer Showblock’s innovative products to its clients, complementing its own extensive range of temporary and semi-permanent structures.

“We are delighted to have acquired Showblock – a company whose experience and innovation will bring an exciting new dimension to our client offering,” said Paul Berger, Chief Executive Officer at Arena Group. “Their structures have already graced major international events and this strategic deal will allow further expansion into this growing global market.”

“Showblock’s values, ambition and sustainability commitments align directly with Arena Group’s and we look forward to working together to deliver industry-leading space solutions,” said Berger.

Nick Cole, Founder and Managing Director of Showblock, said: “My vision for Showblock has always been to push the boundaries of modular temporary structure design, while providing excellent service to our clients.”

“This acquisition represents an exciting new era, allowing us to extend our support to industry professionals on a larger scale,” said Cole. “We are delighted to become part of Arena Group and look forward to seeing our innovative solutions being featured on projects across the globe.”

This acquisition is Arena Group’s third in the past 12 months, following deals for the remaining 50% of Aztec Shaffer and the purchase of Stadium Solutions.
