Nelson Pacheco, president of Quadbridge, commented on the news:

"The Able One team and portfolio are a perfect complement to our existing business, giving our growing company a deep-rooted presence in Ontario, as well as in Quebec and British Columbia. With our office in Arizona, we are now better able to meet all the IT needs of companies the length and breadth of Canada and the USA."

Mark Ciprietti, president of Able One, added:

"We're excited to begin this new chapter in our story, contributing our experience and know-how to the further development of Quadbridge, and gaining from the recognition they enjoy with a number of additional partners to benefit our existing and future customers."

Quadbridge is no strager to acquisitions. In April 2021, Quadbridge acquired Vancouver-based DTM Systems Corp. to expand its reach in Canada and bolster solutions delivery and managed services capabilities.
