AVI Systems announced it will acquire Cary, North Carolina-based AVCON. This systems integration firm designs, installs, and maintains audio, visual, and lighting technologies for companies, houses of worship, and other organizations. This acquisition includes transitioning all AVCON employees to AVI Systems.
AVCON started in 1997 when Yarborough created the business with his vision to be the best audiovisual systems integrator in the Southeast. And he focused on building a team of experts who share a commitment to understand each customer’s goals, vision, and environment – and to guarantee a successful outcome with each engagement.
Since 2022, AVI established itself in several new markets in the Eastern United States, including Massachusetts, New York, Washington, D.C., and most recently, Tennessee and Florida. When the acquisition of AVCON is finalized, AVI will maintain the office location to serve customers in North and South Carolina as well as Southern Virginia. AVI Systems will have 1,300 professionals across 41 U.S. locations. The company also serves as the Regional Business Unit in the United States for GPA – which enables AVI to serve large, multi-national organizations with operations worldwide.
KEY QUOTES:
“AVCON’s founder, Frank Yarborough, has built an incredible company with a stellar reputation for audiovisual design and support.
