Colite Installs 600 Thomson Reuters Signs Around the World in Two Days

In March 2008, Colite was contracted for the Thomson Reuters Day One sites, which involved providing new corporate signage to 260 sites in 56 countries.

In early 2008, Thomson Corporation and Reuters Group PLC merged in a $17 billion deal to form the world's leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals. Headquartered in New York, the company has roughly 50,000 employees in over 90 countries.

The challenge facing Colite was to install over 600 signs between the end of the business day on April 16, 2008 and the morning of April 17, 2008. As the rollout began in China on the evening of the 16th, Colite's partners around the world began a coordinated effort to remove any old signs and install the new ones, so as Thomson Reuter employees came to work on the 17th, the new signs would be in place.

This program's value is estimated at $1.5-$2 million.
