FORTÉ expands its reach into Orange County to better serve its clients in the western United States and to attract new professionals to the company.
"The Orange County-Los Angeles market is key to FORTÉs continued growth in Southern California," said David Bunting, area vice president at FORTÉ. "Opening an office in the heart of Orange County will allow us to better serve our customers and attract top talent in the industry."
FORTÉ already has two existing branches in California, but given the demand of the region, the Orange County branch was added to serve as additional support for the growing Southern California team and operation.
"This expansion will play a critical role in providing fast and convenient support to our clients in the Orange County-Los Angeles metro area," said Michael Brandmire, executive account manager at FORTÉ. "The region is stacked with talented, hard-working AV professionals who will be great additions to the team, and this gives them an even closer home base to work from."
This latest opening is in response to a growing client base in the region, including American Assets Trust, Pacific Life, City of Long Beach, and AECOM. Having a branch in the Orange County-Los Angeles metro area will cut commuting time down significantly, speed up service resolution times, and serve as a meeting point for current and future clients, manufacturers, and industry partners.
FORTÉ brings its regional technology event, FORTÉ LIVE, to San Diego this March. It's the first time that FORTÉ LIVE will be in San Diego. The event hosts more than 40 manufacturers, keynote speakers, and more.
