Avidex, a US provider of audiovisual solutions, has acquired CCS New England, a systems integrator serving the greater New England region.
The acquisition unites the two integrators and is designed to deliver capabilities and service for clients across the Northeast, Avidex says. Whilst CCS Presentation Systems has operations across the United States, this acquisition is specific to CCS New England, the operating entity serving Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.
Founded in 1998 by Chris and Cheryl Gamst, CCS New England offers design, integration, programming and support services to corporate, education and government clients. Over the past 25 years, the company has grown to more than 70 employees with clients including Raytheon, University of New Hampshire, New England Aquarium and Bryant College.
CCS New England clients and employees will gain access to Avidex’s national footprint, centres of excellence and global deployment capabilities. Clients will also gain access to Avidex 360° Service, a suite of managed services, and Avidex Assure, a remote monitoring and management platform.
Jeff Davis, chief executive officer of Avidex, said: “The acquisition of CCS New England represents a pivotal moment in our mission to transform how organisations collaborate, connect, and communicate while also supporting our strategy to expand Avidex’s impact in key regions across the United States…. Together, we will raise the bar for AV solutions and services in New England providing our clients with greater access to advanced capabilities and technology, stronger partner relationships, and a level of proactive support that delivers measurable business outcomes.”
Chris Gamst, vice president and co-founder of CCS New England, added: “From the very beginning, our mission was to build a company that puts people first — our clients, our employees, and our partners. Joining Avidex enables us to expand our capabilities and bring even more value to our customers, while maintaining the same relationships and service they have trusted for decades.”
The CCS New England team will continue to operate throughout the region as part of the Avidex brand.
The acquisition is part of Avidex’s strategic growth plan aimed at expanding its reach in US markets to serve enterprise, healthcare, education and government clients.
