Fastsigns International Inc, a visual communications franchise, has announced its plans to expand into Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and other countries in Southeast Asia. The company also plans to showcase its digital signage technology at the Franchise & License Expo in Jakarta, Indonesia on Sept. 2-4, according to a press release.

Fastsigns has 615 locations worldwide but plans to open between 45 and 50 new centers in 2016 and enter two new countries. The company is also working with World Franchise Associates to help facilitate its entry into Southeast Asia.

"It's no secret that the business climate across Southeast Asia is proving healthy and fruitful," Troy Franklin, World Franchise Associates CEO for Southeast Asia said in the release. "The rapidly expanding markets in Southeast Asia offer huge potential for U.S. based brands, and we're excited to help FASTSIGNS International identify qualified candidates interested in joining the ever-growing, award-winning franchise."

Fastsigns is inviting potential customers to visit the World Franchise Associates pavilion at the Franchise & License Expo to learn more about the benefits of Fastsigns.

"Global expansion continues to be a part of our franchise development plans, and having the ability to network with over 15,000 attendees at the leading franchise expo in Jakarta could not come at a more opportune time," Mark Jameson, executive vice president of franchise support and development, Fastsigns International, said in the release.

We invite entrepreneurs to learn about the franchise that's leading the next generation of business communication, offering businesses across the world innovative ways to connect with customers in a highly competitive marketplace."
