WILLIAM B. MEYER, INC. ACQUIRES ARCHIVE SOLUTIONS OF CT


STRATFORD, Conn. – William B. Meyer, Inc., an agent for United Van Lines, has announced the acquisition of Archive Solutions of CT, Inc., a records management company located in Meriden, Conn. This acquisition provides a strategic fit with the existing record storage and management business line in operation at William B. Meyer, Inc.
 
“We were attracted to this company because they had a strong reputation for service quality. We look forward to a seamless transition for the Archive Solutions clients to our service platform and have retained their general manager, Mike Cavallo, to lead this consolidation,” said Tom Gillon, president of William B. Meyer, Inc.
 
In addition to record storage and document management, William B. Meyer, Inc. is well-known for its off-site tape storage service. This service assists clients in business continuity planning and protection of their daily transactional data.
 
"We are most pleased to announce the sale of Archive Solutions of CT to William B. Meyer, Inc.,” said Fred Cavallo, president of Archive Solutions of CT. “Our primary objective was to find an organization for our records operations that subscribes to our basic philosophy of customer service and utilizes the latest in records management technology that we offer to our clients. Our company has consistently been on the leading edge of technical developments for archiving and management of client records, but our number one cardinal rule has always been to provide excellent customer service to our clients on a personal one on one basis. Knowing clients on a first name basis and their particular requirements has been our most important priority.
 
After extensive research, we concluded that William B. Meyer, Inc. and Archive Solutions of Ct are the perfect synergistic fit for both organizations and most importantly for the ultimate benefit of our clients. Our organization has been in business since 1960 with several other business interests and it is those business interests that were the deciding factors in our decision to divest ourselves of Archive Solutions of CT in the interests of our entire customer base and concentrate our best efforts in areas for the maximum benefit of all our clientele. William B. Meyer Inc. provides that opportunity to our clients and us. All personnel in both organizations can now maximize their full potential with an even higher degree of customer service for the benefit of all clients in both organizations."
 
This was the second acquisition for William B. Meyer, Inc. in the last quarter of 2008 and is a natural step in its evolution. The company continues to expand its footprint between New York and Boston and plans to pursue more acquisitions in the future.
