GIG HARBOR, WA �
Control Solutions, Inc, a supply
chain management and mobility
solutions company headquartered
in Gig Harbor, Washington, has
completed the acquisition of
Compsee, Inc., a mobility
systems company, from parent
company,
McRae
Industries, Inc.
The acquired group will continue
to operate under the Compsee
name, with Compsee�s Melbourne,
Florida sales and customer
services headquarters becoming
the combined company�s east
coast sales and operations
center. The acquisition does not
include the mobile terminal
manufacturing operations in Mt.
Gilead, North Carolina, which
will remain with McRae
Industries, although the new
Compsee will continue to support
customers as an authorized
reseller of products
manufactured by McRae
Industries.
The acquisition of Compsee,
with its sizable market share in
the southeast U.S., will greatly
enhance Control Solutions�
nationwide sales and support
capabilities. According to
Richard
Mahmarian,
President/CEO of Control
Solutions, �not only will the
integration of Compsee extend
our geographic reach, but it
will bring additional solutions
to customers of both companies.
We are particularly eager to
introduce our warehouse
management and other supply
chain management and mobility
solutions to Compsee�s existing
customer base.�
Billy Graham will continue to
lead the Compsee sales team
which will now include the
Control Solutions hardware and
software solutions group.
According to Billy, �we are
excited to be part of the
Control Solutions organization.
The national sales and technical
support structure, as well as
the financial strength of
Control Solutions, will better
assist our customers with the
implementation of the latest
technologies to improve
processes and reduce cost. Our
existing customers can expect
the same excellent,
uninterrupted service and
support from the new Compsee.�
