NexusTek, backed by private equity firm Abry Partners, has acquired Symmetrix Solutions, a managed IT services provider (MSP) in Denver, Colorado. Financial terms were not disclosed.
This is M&A deal number 395 that ChannelE2E has covered so far in 2020. See the full M&A deal list here.
Symmetrix, founded in 2012, has been one of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States, according to the Inc. 5000 list for 2019 and 2018, though ChannelE2E does not know actual revenue or profit figures for the IT service provider.
The NexusTek-Symmetrix deal has several synergies, according to NexusTek CEO Bill Wosilius. He points to Symmextrix managed IT, cloud, and cybersecurity services blending with NexusTek's nationwide support infrastructure and 24/7/365 service model. The result will be a single nationwide umbrella to manage IT services for mid-market business customers, Wosilius asserts.
