Wil GibsonJohn Langworthy buys back Dynamic Print, promotes Gibson, Carty to key roles
Dynamic Displays & Graphics has been repurchased by its original owner who has hired Will Gibson as exhibit coordinator and promoted Thomas Carty to exhibit manager.
John Langworthy, president of Dynamic Print + Promotions, started Dynamic Displays & Graphics in 1993 and sold the company in 2008 to concentrate on the decal and graphic side of his business. Due to the effects of COVID-19 on the exhibit and trade show industry over the past two years, Dynamic Displays decided to close this summer. Langworthy said the owners of Dynamic Displays reached out to him about purchasing the company back and adding it into his product line at their Hixson facility.
That transaction took place and the inventory of all rental customers and the exhibit showroom was moved to the Adams Road facility.
Thomas Carty"it's been fun working with some exhibit clients I had the pleasure of working with back in 2008 once again in 2021," Langworthy said. "We see people's desire to get back to attending and marketing their companies at trade show events, and we want to be there to help them. Our Hixson facility gives us the space to store and manage more exhibits and with our on-site graphic capabilities, we are quicker to respond to any last-minute graphics needs."
