Their philosophy of serving clients is a close match to the IdentiSys philosophy and ACS and ACS East employees will transition over to IdentiSys.  

“Adding ACS and ACS East to the IdentiSys business portfolio and building on their solid record of success is exciting,” said Michael R. Shields II, president and CEO of IdentiSys. “We welcome the addition of their outstanding staff to our organization and, together, we will provide our customers with the IdentiSys sales and service experience we proudly deliver throughout the rest of our corporate footprint.”

“IdentiSys is always looking at expanding our local sales and service coverage throughout the U.S.  The opportunity to add the ACS and ACS East customers and staff to our base works well with our strategy of continuous growth and expansion of the areas we cover.  The purchase of ACS and ACSE are our 13th and 14th dealer acquisitions and we are extremely proud to have local sales and service covering the majority of the United States,” stated Shields.
