DisplayPlan Ltd. (Letchworth, Hertfordshire, U.K.), a British p-o-p company, has joined the Leggett & Platt umbrella. The Carthage, Mo.-based conglomerate will issue a formal statement later today.

DisplayPlan was established in 1983, and today bills itself as “one of the foremost design and production display companies in the United Kingdom.”
