CLEVELAND, Feb. 20, 2018 /CNW/ -- Park Place Technologies announced today that it has completed an acquisition of Axentel Technologies' businesses in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the Philippines.  Park Place Technologies has also signed an agreement to complete the acquisition of the Axentel Technologies Thailand business in the second quarter of 2018.  Axentel Technologies is a Singapore-based, premier provider of IT lifecycle solutions with service offerings throughout Southeast Asia. With a desire to continue its growth momentum, the acquisition of Axentel Technologies follows Park Place Technologies' six acquisitions announced over the past 18 months.

The Axentel Technologies acquisition allows Park Place Technologies to significantly enhance its ability to service customers in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Cambodia, the Philippines and throughout Southeast Asia.

"The company's strong growth trajectory and unwavering commitment to reliability and quality align seamlessly with Park Place Technologies' vision for our company."

As the companies integrate operations, Park Place Technologies' and Axentel Technologies' global customer bases will immediately benefit from superior levels of service delivery, enhanced flexibility and value-driven maintenance solutions.

"Our objective is to be the premier and largest TPM in Asia. Combining Park Place's existing APAC infrastructure with Axentel's coverage in 28 countries worldwide reinforces that objective," added Chris Adams, President and Chief Operating Officer, Park Place Technologies. "The company's winning sales team, impressive array of customers and strong leadership team make them an ideal business partner. We are incredibly excited to join forces with Axentel Technologies to support our global customers with multi-platform, multi-generation network, server and storage equipment."

"For the past 12 years, Axentel Technologies has been proud to serve as a leading provider of maintenance services to customers across the globe," said Jerry Yiu, former CEO, Axentel Technologies.

We look forward to joining Park Place Technologies as we continue to accelerate the growth of our business and provide new opportunities for our employees and customers."
