Financial terms of the deal were not shared. Baird Business Owner Solutions was the financial advisor for Instor.
Instor has more than 25 years of experience in data center design, structured cabling, power infrastructure, specialized containment, and cooling solutions. The company is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay area with a second office in Ashburn.
Jack Vonich, Instor CEO, said: “Instor has showcased remarkable expansion over the past three decades from a data center product reseller to an industry leader offering comprehensive services from concept to completion. We are proud of our track record and look forward to the opportunity to build on this momentum.”
