MINNEAPOLIS – Nov. 28, 2022 – FORTÉ announced today it moved to the No. 1 position on the 2022 SCN Top 50. The annual rankings, published by Systems Contractor News, comes following a year of massive growth across the audiovisual and unified collaboration industry. In 2022 alone, FORTÉ acquired Indiana-based CIM and Austin, Texas-based Onsite AV. These acquisitions combined with FORTÉs ownership position of GPA were factored into the SCN rankings.
"While we're proud that our combined revenues with GPA earned us the number one ranking, we believe our global footprint is most important to our customers," said Jeff Stoebner, CEO at FORTÉ. "Our global footprint provides us with the ability to support the AV, UC, and digital media needs of our customers wherever they may have operations. Our business has changed dramatically in the past two years, and we're particularly excited about our ownership position in GPA, which allows us to extend our delivery and support capabilities around the world."
GPA represents the new collaborative sharing economy. The organization encompasses 27 expert Regional Business Units (RBUs) with localized delivery capability in 50 countries globally. Combined, FORTÉ and GPA entities employ more than 4,000 employees and more than $1.4 billion in annual AV/UC-related revenues.
