“The addition of ADEI is exciting for a number of reasons,” said John Mancini, Jason Group’s managing director. “First, it allows the Jason Group to truly become a complete solution of static and digital solutions. Secondly, with new engineering capability, it allows our group to bring innovative, focused thinking to our customers in roads, construction, and mining. And thirdly, it means our group of companies benefit from shared capability to deliver successful major projects nationally.

“In fact, with increased capabilities in large scale project management, ADEI are ideally placed to support upcoming projects recently announced by the Government - WA roads project boost of $868m.”

ADEI has experience in delivering highly technical electronic solutions to a national client base. This includes delivery of the largest full colour traffic VMS in Australia, installed at Melbourne’s Tullamarine airport.

“With the backing of the Jason Group, ADEI are back to business as usual, providing their high quality electric equipment to the roads, construction and mining industries,” said the statement from Jason Group.

ADEI director Peter Harris will continue in a leadership role, with a focus on reinvigorating the business.

“The synergies between Jason Group and ADEI are really exciting,” Harris said. “Jason Group are the leaders in the manufacture and supply of signage to the road, government, construction and mining sectors. Together, the group represent a complete solution of static and digital signage solutions. I have no doubt that the restructure of ADEI will create exciting, new opportunities for our team, and our clients.”
