Congruex, a national end-to-end provider of design, engineering, construction, and maintenance services to broadband providers, on Nov. 3 announced its acquisition of True North Management Services, LLC, a regional provider of wireless infrastructure. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Bill Beans, Congruex's CEO, commented, "We are excited to announce the acquisition of True North, which immediately expands Congruex's footprint in the Midwest and broadens the company's offerings and customer set into the wireless space."
Founded in 2000, True North is a U.S. veteran-owned and operated provider of complete, turn-key platforms for tier 1 wireless carriers, fiber companies and tower owners. The firm's core service areas are ground and small cell installation, tower construction, maintenance and emergency response. True North is headquartered in St. Louis and serves a number of states including Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Tennessee.
Steven Myers and Charles Newhouse, co-owners of True North commented, "We are eager to join the Congruex team, and look forward to working with Bill and his colleagues to further our leading market positions in the Midwest. With expanded capabilities and resources, True North is ideally situated for accelerated growth, in partnership with our dedicated team members and customers."
True North is the eighth strategic acquisition that Congruex has completed since establishing a partnership with Crestview Partners, a New York-based private equity firm with significant expertise in the cable, telecommunications and business services industries. Collectively, these transactions have firmly established Congruex as one of the largest telecom engineering and construction firms in the United States, the company contends. Congruex provides best-in-class turn-key services to broadband operators.
Congruex's CEO Beans added, "Steve and the entire team at True North have proven themselves to be incredible operators. They have built a company that prioritizes culture, service excellence and precision, many of the traits that Steve exemplified while serving in the U.S. military."
The acquisition of True North follows Congruex's prior acquisitions of CCLD Technologies and CHC Consulting in late 2017, White Construction in 2018, Veterans Underground, Terra Technologies, HHS Construction in 2019, and Southeast Utilities of Georgia in 2020.
Congruex was advised in the transaction by Berg Hill Greenleaf Ruscitti LLP. Advisors to the sellers were Eagle Venture Management and Henson Efron. Learn more at www.congruex.com.
