Tech24, backed by HCI Equity Partners, announced today it acquired United Service Technologies (“United”) on April 13, 2021.

United is the fourth add-on acquisition in HCI’s consolidation strategy in this market. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Headquartered outside of Anaheim, California, with additional locations in Texas and Nevada, United is a provider of repair and maintenance services for commercial food equipment, primarily serving the grocery market.

“Today is a great day for Tech24. Adding a premier company like United to our team greatly strengthens our ability to service the grocery market segment. We look forward to sharing best practices with United and across all the Tech24 Companies to enable us to better service and satisfy our customers” said Tech24 CEO Dan Rodstrom.
