FORTÉ has significantly expanded its global reach with the acquisition of Vega Global, bringing one of APAC’s largest systems integrators into its international operations and extending its presence across 22 countries.
The acquisition gives FORTÉ a substantial foothold across Asia Pacific, with Vega Global’s established operations spanning Hong Kong, Mainland China, India, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, South Korea, Vietnam, Australia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Macau, New Zealand, Indonesia and the United Arab Emirates. Combined with FORTÉ’s operations in the US, Ireland, Germany, Sweden, the UK and Mexico, the company now serves customers in more than 70 major markets worldwide.
“Multinational organizations need strategic partners who can deliver consistent communication and collaboration experiences wherever their people work and do business,” said Jeff Stoebner, Chairman and CEO of FORTÉ. “With Vega Global now part of FORTÉ, we provide customers with the scale, speed and local expertise they require to enhance productivity across the globe.”
The move also adds more than 750 professionals from Vega Global to FORTÉ’s global workforce. Vega Global CEO Steven Medeiros will take on the role of CEO of FORTÉ Asia, leading the company’s expanded operations across the region.
“Joining FORTÉ is a strategic opportunity to expand what we can offer customers around the world,” said Medeiros, who will serve as CEO of FORTÉ Asia. “Equally important, FORTÉ shares our commitment to customer service, innovation and people-first collaboration, making this a strong cultural fit and the right decision for our employees, customers and partners.”
For the systems integration sector, the acquisition reflects the growing demand for providers capable of delivering standardised workplace technology across multiple countries while maintaining local delivery and support. With organisations increasingly seeking consistent meeting room, digital workplace, managed services and mission critical AV solutions across global offices and campuses, scale and geographic coverage are becoming increasingly important differentiators.
The combined organisation positions FORTÉ to offer customers a broader international delivery network while strengthening its capabilities across the fast growing APAC market.
