Technical Innovation recently announced the acquisition of Image Communications, a national provider of structured cabling and wireless solutions.
“With structured cabling an integral foundation of successful AV/IT integration projects in the competitive global marketplace, TI sought to complement its offerings with Wi-Fi, voice, data & fiber optics, providing comprehensive, reliable solutions for its clients,” according to the TI announcement.
TI and Image Communications have worked together on projects for several years and the acquisition “allows TI and Image to support clients through projects built upon a superior communications network,” according to the announcement.
“We at TI are excited to incorporate new capabilities frequently requested by our clients. Image’s core competencies complement our current offering and meet client needs”, explains Mike Landrum, Chief Executive Officer, Technical Innovation.
Gust Pappas, Image’s President now serving as TI’s Director of Wireless and Structured Cabling, is pleased to join the TI brand, bringing added value to his existing clientele.
“When Technical Innovation first mentioned merging, I realized how our companies complemented each other and the potential to bring broader product lines and services to our customers.”
TI’s commitment to their core values and to providing clients with a scalable, flexible and high-quality backbone were also in-line with Pappas’s philosophies and business strategy.
