Halo Technology Group, among the world's largest independent manufacturers of fiber-optic transceivers and high-speed cabling, today announced it has completed two strategic acquisitions to broaden its product portfolio and strengthen its global presence.
Halo has acquired ARIA Technologies, a designer, manufacturer, and provider of fiber optical connectivity solutions, headquartered in the San Francisco Bay area. Halo has also acquired Solid Optics, a global provider of fiber-optic transceivers, high-speed cabling, and passive and active networking technology, headquartered in Almere, Netherlands.
"We are thrilled to add the incredibly talented teams from ARIA Technologies and Solid Optics to the Halo Group," commented Matt McCormick, chief executive officer of Halo.
McCormick added, "Our mission has been clear since the beginning—to be the global leader in optical solutions and deliver exceptional value to our customers. With the addition of ARIA and Solid Optics, we enhance our global footprint, particularly in key markets such as Germany and France, and further strengthen our product offerings, as well as our technical and commercial capabilities."
As reckoned by a Halo press statement:
ARIA's commitment to innovation and product performance has been transformational in the data center and the telecommunications industry. Solid Optics has a strong presence in Europe with a diverse, long-term customer base and deep expertise across a full range of optical solutions.
These acquisitions, together with the Skylane Optics acquisition announced earlier this year, strengthen Halo's ability to meet the optical solutions needs of any customer across the globe.
"Coupled with Halo's strong organic growth, these acquisitions demonstrate that Halo is the growth platform of choice in the third-party optoelectronics industry," concluded Al Aguirre, chairman of the Halo Group board of directors.
Created by London-based Inflexion Private Equity Partners, Halo Technology is a multinational corporation headquartered in Irvine, California. As one of the world's largest independent providers of optoelectronics, the firm develops and markets mission-critical optical networking solutions including transceivers, multiplexers, ROADMs, EDFAs, and high-speed cabling.
