M&A Roundup: UBEO Acquires in Louisiana, GoodSuite Swings Largest Deal

Industry acquisitions continue to trickle in at a slow but consistent pace, and this week saw a pair of announced deals. UBEO Business Services obtained Digitech Office Machines of Louisiana, its largest acquisition within the Bayou State.

Meanwhile, GoodSuite pulled off the largest deal in company history, adding fellow California firm Select Business Systems.

UBEO, one of the fastest-growing business technology and managed services companies in the United States, has acquired Digitech Office Machines in Lafayette, Louisiana. 

Digitech Office Machines has been serving Lafayette and the surrounding communities since 1979. Prior to 1998, Digitech was branded as CopyData. Digitech has been aggressively focused on serving the local business community as well as many charitable organizations.

“For a long time, we have known we needed to expand our core business for both our customers and our employees, but we had not yet found the right organization to help us do that,” commented Rick Tomlin, president of Digitech Office Machines. “UBEO is the right organization for our customers and our employees. They understand our culture and so far, this process has been seamless. We are extremely excited to bring an expanded array of offerings to our customers and to provide more opportunities for our team to grow within the UBEO organization.”

“We are grateful to have another first-class company in Louisiana join us and help drive the UBEO mission,” said Jim Sheffield, CEO of UBEO, LLC. “Digitech’s core values are virtually the same as UBEO’s which made them an easy fit for us. I will say every team member we have met so far has been exceptional and we are proud to welcome them into our family.” 

Digitech Office Machines is the largest company UBEO has acquired in Louisiana to date.

GoodSuite Acquires Select Business Systems

“It is rare to find an organization so well matched in its operating principles,” said Todd Mumma, president of Select Business Systems. “We selected GoodSuite knowing that our customers will be in excellent hands and continue to receive outstanding service.”

Like Select Business Systems, GoodSuite, founded in 1998, is a family-owned business that has grown from a copier company to one offering award-winning multifunction printers and copiers, IT services, managed print services, digital signage, collaboration and interactive display systems, VoIP services, and most other critical business systems.
