The rebranding process will continue through the beginning of May. Exertis Almo is being led by Sam Taylor, EVP and COO, who brings 35 years of AV leadership to the newly unified division. Exertis Almo includes more than 300 employees, 12 distribution facilities and 2.7 million square feet of warehousing space. Sam Taylor, provided "As a family-run business, we remain steadfast in our loyalty to our channel partners. Exertis' acquisition of Almo Corporation gives them a pathway towards a future of growth and opportunity with abundant access to more products, services and financial support," Warren Chaiken, Almo Corporation president and CEO, said in the release. "Throughout the acquisition, we have worked hard to ensure the transition has been seamless and business has remained as per usual. Sam Taylor was the sure choice to lead the Exertis Almo division as I couldn't think of a more well-known, well-respected professional AV leader in the industry to give resellers and integrators the value-added tools, expertise and access they need to thrive." Exertis Almo is hosting its first unified event — E4 Experience Chicago — on May 3. The joint partner participation will feature the largest exhibit hall space since the E4 program was launched in 2009. "There has never been a more exciting time to partner with us than right now. Almo Pro A/V and Exertis Pro AV have combined best practices and now offer the most expansive range of products, managed services, technical support and training to help resellers and integrators drive business growth and generate profits." Taylor said in the release. "We look forward to welcoming our partners to the first official Exertis Almo event, the E4 Experience, in Chicago on May 3. This provides the opportunity to introduce our combined staff of experts and share some of the latest trends and technology in our largest exhibit hall space yet for E4." INCLUDED IN THIS STORY
