VISTA, Calif.--The assets of Delectable Displays, a visual merchandising and display company, have been acquired by Moon Design and Manufacturing, based here, and merged into a new division called the Visual Merchandising Group (VMG).

Bill Gerber, formerly head of Delectable, has been named executive vice president of sales and design for VMG, which is based here at Moon's headquarters. Moon is a 24-year-old company a fixture and retail build-out company, with clients in the footwear, men's and women's fashion retail, gift and cosmetics industries. Its clients range from smaller optical shops to brands (Sony, Starbucks) to major retailers including Macy's, Limited and Duty Free.

Bruce Moon, president and chief executive officer of Moon Design & Manufacturing and VMG said, "VMG was a natural extension for Moon. We jumped at the opportunity for Delectable Displays' assets and creative team for their reputation for creating innovative and elegant solutions to common optical display problems."

Gerber said VMG is developing a new line of optical fixtures based on a magnetic wall system which will be launched in March at Vision Expo East.
