Yesterday, AscendTek announced the acquisition of SatTEL Broadband Inc. (SBI) in Kent, WA, and SRU Electric in Cary, IL. AscendTek builds, maintains and updates cell towers in more than 30 states, including Hawaii, with nearly 100 tower, civil and electrical crews delivering infrastructure projects for major telecommunications carriers and OEMs.
“Both of these companies embody our holistic approach to finding regional operators dedicated to quality service and safety. Bringing great operations together as one company empowers AscendTek to deliver that value nationally without diminishing local safety, quality, and culture,” says Rick Ploeckelmann, President at AscendTek.
Chris Poteet, owner of SRU, says his company, “adds one more horse to the AscendTek wagon. I’ve built my company to be more than 160 strong. They are skilled, knowledgeable, wonderful people. I want to be sure that if something happens to me tomorrow, they still have a home at SRU.”
“My partners and I have been in business more than 35 years,” said SBI President Robert Young. “We have tons of experience, but it’s going to be nice to help each other with new ideas and procedures. There’s a lot of synergy between our companies and that’s exciting.”
