The 20 MSP Announces Triple Play in Strategic Acquisitions

Published

on

The 20 MSP closes three new MSP acquisitions, deepens national footprint.

PLANO, Texas, March 1, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Leading managed IT services provider, The 20 MSP, today announced its completion of three MSP acquisitions, the latest round of deals in an ongoing M&A growth plan aimed at consolidating the company’s national footprint and enhancing its service offerings.

“We’ve successfully completed 30 acquisitions, and with each one, the process becomes increasingly streamlined,” said Tim Conkle, CEO and Founder of The 20 MSP. “A lot of the attrition and friction that comes with traditional M&A deals is either minimized or altogether eliminated by our approach.”

The three managed service providers (MSPs) joining The 20 are Drivetech (Massachusetts), Accurate Computer Solutions (Texas), and Blue Cactus Consulting (Arizona).

As with The 20 MSP’s previous twenty-seven acquisitions, these three MSPs all achieved steady year-over-year growth as members of The 20 MSP Group. The group boasts 150+ MSP members, independent MSPs who leverage shared processes and resources, as well as economies of scale, to get ahead in the competitive managed IT services space and compete at parity with much larger companies.

The addition of Drivetech, Accurate Computer Solutions, and Blue Cactus Consulting represents another decisive step forward in The 20 MSP’s ambitious growth plans, expanding its client base and deepening expertise across several key areas.

The 20 MSP’s founder and CEO, Tim Conkle, commented on the significance of these latest deals.

“With these deals closed, we now have thirty acquisitions under our belt,” Conkle said. “We’ve really hit our stride in terms of making these integrations seamless and minimally disruptive to end clients. As we get bigger and better, our collective knowledge base only gets stronger, so there’s more and more wisdom to draw on as far as making all the pieces fit,” added Conkle.

The 20 MSP’s unique M&A approach has garnered plenty of industry attention, and as Conkle shared, blazing a trail is standard procedure for him and his team.

“When I started The 20 MSP Group, I knew we were exploring new territory,” Conkle explained. “Now, we’re embracing the opportunity to once again break ground with our distinctive M&A process.”

This distinctive process is marked by a commitment to acquiring MSPs that belong to The 20 MSP Group exclusively. As Conkle explained, this strategy capitalizes on the deep relationships The 20 MSP builds with acquisition targets during their time as members. “A lot of the attrition and friction that comes with traditional M&A deals is either minimized or altogether eliminated by our approach,” Conkle said. “So while the pace of our expansion has been rapid, it hasn’t felt rushed, since these integrations solidify partnerships that have been in the works, maturing organically within The 20 MSP Group.”

The 20 MSP has a full pipeline of acquisition candidates and more deals planned for the coming months.

Pinecrest Capital Partners served as the exclusive financial advisor to The 20 MSP on the acquisitions. Texas-based Sunflower Bank, acting as sole lead arranger in a syndicated credit facility for The 20 MSP, provided the funding tranche.

By

SHANGHAI, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At Auto Shanghai 2025, HONGQI proudly unveiled its strategic vision, focused on the creation of the “Shared-Value Mobility Union.” By harnessing the combined strengths of its three core technology platforms—”Tiangong” pure electric, “Honghu” hybrid, and “Jiuzhang” intelligent—HONGQI reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to its brand DNA: A: Safety, Intelligence, Green, Health, and Taste. Every HONGQI vehicle is crafted to embody its owner’s aspirations, while contributing to the creation of a brand-new “win-win” ecosystem.

Following this, the highlight of the event was the debut of two new models based on the “Tiangong” pure electric platform: the EH5 sedan and the EHS5 SUV. Both models are designed for younger, dynamic lifestyles, featuring sleek, compact proportions that ensure easy driving in both urban and suburban environments. The clean front EV nose design of both cars eliminates the need for traditional combustion grille bar decorations, while still retaining the signature HONGQI red stripe, making them easily recognizable to our global audience. Integrated with the DeepSeek-LLM, they deliver an adaptive and intelligent user experience.

Adding to the excitement, HONGQI also unveiled its first luxury off-road SUV, showcasing the brand’s commitment to innovation in diverse mobility solutions. At the same time, HONGQI launched the Off-Road Ecosystem Co-Creation Plan, inviting collaboration from global modification companies, designers, and off-road enthusiasts to jointly create a new off-road ecosystem.

HONGQI also introduced the GUOYA model from its Golden Sunflower sub-brand, a flagship luxury vehicle that combines exceptional craftsmanship with advanced technology. GUOYA emphasizes both superior performance and refined luxury, marking a major milestone in HONGQI’s evolution from “Oriental Luxury” to “World’s New Luxury.”

Since launching its international expansion in 2020, HONGQI has established a presence in 43 countries and regions, with overseas sales doubling for four consecutive years and achieving a compound annual growth rate of 151%. This success is rooted in HONGQI’s full commitment to embracing the core Chinese traditional value of “Regard all creations with harmony,” focusing on accelerating technological inclusivity, deeply engaging with local communities, and promoting local industrial development. Looking ahead, HONGQI plans to build five major base clusters across Southeast Asia, Europe, and Latin America. By 2030, HONGQI expects its overseas production capacity to exceed 200,000 units, while creating over 20,000 jobs globally.

Just like Shanghai, which resonates with the rhythm of the world through its openness and innovation, HONGQI’s vision is to create a new symbol of  “mutual growth, co-create, win-win” . With a steadfast commitment to long-term growth, HONGQI will continue to craft exceptional vehicles, build a world-class luxury brand, and drive forward with Chinese wisdom.
