Plymouth, MN - Vertex Group, a premier supplier of products and engineered solutions for process instrumentation and analytics, hazardous condition detection and monitoring, mechanical process equipment, and industrial communications, today announced the acquisition of MCR Technologies, a leading OEM channel partner serving Southern California and Southern Nevada. The acquisition expands Vertex Group's geographic footprint while strengthening its product portfolio and access to key end markets.
Todd Spaulding, CEO of Vertex Group, said the acquisition reflects a strong strategic and cultural alignment.
"MCR Technologies is an excellent fit for Vertex," Spaulding said. "Kamran Peyman has built an outstanding team and a best-in-class line card of measurement and control products. We're highly selective in our partnerships, and from our first conversation it was clear that Vertex and MCR would be better together. This partnership strengthens our leadership in Water & Wastewater while expanding our reach into HVAC and Energy Management, along with leading flow and measurement solutions. We're excited to welcome the MCR team and grateful that Kamran will continue as president, leading MCR Technologies as an independent operating company under Vertex."
MCR Technologies was founded in 1994 by Kamran Peyman and over the last 32 years has grown into a preeminent supplier for Process Instrumentation, Industrial Communications and Wireless (IIoT), Gas Safety Monitoring, and Valve Automation. MCR has a tenured team of 11 and has represented leading manufacturers like ABB and ONICON for over 30 years.
Kamran Peyman, who will continue as President of MCR Technologies, shared his excitement over the announcement noting, "Although we had multiple parties interested in acquiring MCR, the most important factors in deciding to partner with Vertex were the cultural fit and business model, knowing it would be a great home for our employees, and the trust I quickly developed with Vertex executive leadership. We are very excited about this partnership and look forward to the continued growth of our business and our contributions to the growth of Vertex Group."
