We are happy to be joining forces with such an established company and look forward to the strategic opportunities this will bring.”

Paul Choquette, President of Cimtel, added, “After 65 years in business Cimtel is not winding down, we’re getting a fresh reboot teaming up with the APPx Group, allowing us to better serve the IT and networking needs of our customers while keeping APPx’s infrastructure monitored by the best team.”

In connection with the acquisition, Cimtel announced the following:
• The leadership of the company will remain the responsibility of both Paul Choquette and Robert Choquette.
• The management team and current employees of Cimtel will also remain with the business following acquisition.

APPx's acquisition of Cimtel is anticipated to close, with a definitive purchase agreement,  on or before December 12, 2018  pending completion of due diligence and all regulatory approvals. As a result of the transaction, Cimtel will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of APPx.
