The combination of our two firms and our joint commitment to safety, quality and ethics fits perfectly into PSI’s Information To Build On business model and One Company, One Call service delivery platform.”
“We are thrilled to partner with Hi-Tech’s management team, who has demonstrated an impressive track record and reputation within the industry,” says David Cardenas of Olympus Partners. “The Hi-Tech acquisition will accelerate the combined company’s growth by leveraging PSI’s existing branch network, supplementing the service offering, and further diversifying the business.”
