• Kirkwood Acquires Cadwell Design and Sign (piworld.com) — A Holliston-based signage firm, Cadwell Design + Sign, has been acquired by marketing execution company Kirkwood but will keep its name and stay in its Holliston offices. The deal folds Cadwell's full team into Kirkwood, expanding services from small signs to large construction projects. Local clients can expect broader offerings and a larger creative team without losing the familiar Cadwell presence in town. 
• Electroporation Kits Market To 2035: Non-Viral Delivery Demand Accelerates Growth (indexbox.io) — Holliston appears in a global electroporation kits market report as the headquarters of Harvard Bioscience's BTX brand, a niche but longstanding player in specialized electroporation equipment. While the piece is mainly worldwide industry analysis through 2035, it underlines that a Holliston company competes on a global stage. Residents working in biotech may find the long-term demand outlook especially relevant.
