The combined company will offer our respective customers a consistent experience with a broader range of products and services.”

Both companies have a significant install base and a long history of performance to leverage following the acquisition.

"We wanted to find the best regional company that would value our employees' dedication and professionalism and treat our customers with the care and commitment that we have provided them for many years," commented ACT Partner Joel Hill. "In my years as a partner at ACT, many of these people have become my friends and family. We're excited to make this transition to SWC, as we are certain they will continue to be treated as such."
