"ACT's leadership and service-oriented focus are exactly what we look for when evaluating whether an organisation is a cultural fit for Convergint Nation," said Ken Lochiatto, CEO of Convergint Technologies. "We know our customers will benefit greatly from their professionalism and expertise, and we welcome them to Convergint."

Strategic growth structure

Convergint has strategically grown its service footprint across the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia Pacific through strong organic growth and the completion of 18 acquisitions since early 2016. Convergint's growth strategy is driven by its company mission of being its customers' best service provider. It seeks out companies whose service-first culture mirror its own, as is the case with ACT.
