GLOBAL LEADER AVI-SPL EXTENDS THEIR PRESENCE IN SOUTHWEST US

Tampa, FL — September 2, 2025 — AVI-SPL, the leading global provider of digital enablement solutions, today announced the acquisition of CCS Presentation Systems Southwest (CCS Southwest), an audio-visual design and systems integration firm headquartered in Mesa, Arizona. CCS has a rich, 34-year history of expertly serving customers in the Arizona market with a focus on continuously optimizing communications and collaboration solutions for the modern workplace and campus. While CCS has capabilities and locations across the United States, AVI-SPL has only acquired CCS Southwest, the operating entity serving Arizona.

This acquisition strengthens AVI-SPL’s resources in the U.S. southwest region. This region has shown considerable growing demand for IT services covering the full lifecycle of unified communications (UC), audio visual (AV), collaboration, and experience technology solutions.

“Our vision is to help organizations everywhere work smarter and live better,” said John Zettel, chief executive officer of AVI-SPL. “We believe by bringing CCS Southwest’s resources and regional knowledge together with AVI-SPL, we will ensure an elevated local customer experience where our customers need us most.”

Organizations of all sizes and sectors are rethinking how to meaningfully engage their stakeholders and create flexible work models and educational spaces where people connect and communicate from anywhere, at any time. The combined portfolio of AVI-SPL and CCS Southwest will deliver best-in-class UC, AV and experience technology, along with a suite of award-winning professional, managed, and support services to enable customers to easily plan, deploy, operate, and optimize their technology investments.

“As the co-founders of CCS, my wife Beth and I are filled with pride and excitement as we look toward the next chapter for the company we started 34 years ago,” said CCS Founder and CEO John Godbout. “What began as a two-person operation has grown into something far greater than we could have ever imagined, thanks to the dedication of our employees, the loyalty of our customers, and the support of our vendor partners. We are confident that AVI-SPL will carry this legacy forward with the same passion and commitment.”

Further, the acquisition by AVI-SPL will provide CCS Southwest’s customers with immediate access to AVI-SPL global operations that support multinational projects with a centrally managed, delivery program that oversees in-country purchasing, project management, and day-two support services. CCS Southwest customers will now have access to the award-winning AVI-SPL Symphony platform to monitor, manage, and analyze their entire collaboration estate. Symphony gives customers faster issue resolution, less end-user impact, and greater peace of mind.

This acquisition expands AVI-SPL’s domain expertise, regional understanding, and local talent to ensure its clients successfully leverage modern work tools across their organizations. AVI-SPL and CCS Southwest are each known for inspiring confidence in their clients and vendors and developing loyal, lasting relationships. Clients of both companies can expect AVI-SPL to anticipate their needs and exceed their expectations in providing globally consistent delivery and exceptional user experience to increase technology adoption and drive growth.
