Wilson Electronics Acquires zBoost with Plans to Leverage Two Brands

As reported by Lindsey Adler on Residential Systems, here are excerpts from the article:

Cellular signal booster manufacturer Wilson Electronics has purchased zBoost to leverage technical and marketing strengths while establishing a dual-brand strategy and preparing for global expansion.

 As the cell signal booster industry has matured slightly and continues to do so, “We saw an opportunity for some consolidation by acquiring one of our more substantial competitors,” Bob Van Buskirk, CEO of Wilson, in an interview with RS.

In addition to being a growing and profitable company, zBoost was attractive to Wilson to support ongoing internal efforts to establish a dual-brand strategy, a result of retailer feedback for a better/best product offering.
