TruConnect, a division of M S Benbow and Associates Professional Engineering Corporation (MSB), is excited to announce the asset acquisition of Interstate Electronics Systems (IES), a leading audiovisual design and integration firm in Greater New Orleans. From conference rooms to command centers, IES leverages its unique strengths to maximize the utility and reliability of delivering advanced AV technology infrastructure.
“We are excited to join forces with M S Benbow and Associates. This acquisition marks a new chapter for IES, where our expertise in audiovisual design and integration will be elevated by the combined strength of MSB’s TruConnect division” said Michael Rideau, CTS, Managing Partner of IES. “Our clients will benefit from a broader range of integrated services and our combined experience. The alignment of our company cultures, with a shared emphasis on teamwork, integrity, and excellence, makes this partnership a perfect fit.”
As part of MSB, IES will be incorporated with TruConnect, MSB’s security and advanced communications system integration division. The combination of these two high-growth companies will expand TruConnect’s footprint by adding audiovisual technology to the company’s already expansive technology integration services portfolio.
“I am thrilled & humbled to have such a great group of AV professionals join the Tru-Connect team” said Mike Ward, Operations Manager of TruConnect. “I have had the pleasure to work with IES for many years on various projects and it always felt to be a good fit. Now to be able to work with this team under the same marquee makes me extremely optimistic for the future to come. I have no doubt we will do remarkable things together.”
Collectively, TruConnect and IES will continue to redefine the advanced security and connectivity solutions by providing industry-leading technologies. The combination will provide a competitive advantage in the markets they serve and strengthen the high standard of service and customer care both companies are known for. Their combined vast experience and forward-thinking, integrated approach to enhancing, protecting, and managing clients’ technology infrastructure, along with the backing of MSB’s 45+ year history of diverse engineering services, will create a regional powerhouse with immense depth and strength to serve their wide-ranging client base.
“This acquisition is part of MSB’s commitment to continue to invest deeply in world-class connectivity solutions, with services provided by a highly experienced team” said Ken Wright, P.E., President of MSB. “With the growing trend in the industry of moving toward network-based AV solutions, we want to be at the forefront of providing the technology that’s revolutionizing the way entertainment and sports venues, conference centers, universities, 911 centers and others utilize audiovisual technology.”
