Service Express, a third-party, post-warranty data center maintenance service provider, has acquired a third-party maintenance and managed service company Blue Chip from the UK. The acquisition will help expand the service’s global platform for Express. The acquisition is the fifth of Service Express and the first internationally.

Since 1993, Service Express Mission has been providing on-site hardware maintenance for critical servers, storage and networking equipment. The company has grown rapidly with more than 50 offices across the United States and partnerships around the world. The acquisition of Blue Chip follows several years of partnership and client service shared between the two companies. The financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Service Express now serves more than 4,000 large enterprises. These clients include global manufacturers and integrated health systems as well as government clients in retail, higher education, financial services, cloud services and across North America and internationally.

“Our acquisition of Blue Chip in many ways formalizes the two companies’ existing multi-year partnership,” said Ron Alvesteffer, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Service Express. “Our culture of growth, employee engagement, and differentiated customer experience aligns well with Blue Chip’s great reputation for building a talented and dedicated team that places customers at the heart of their service. The addition of Blue Chip enables our joint vision of growing a global portfolio to provide the best experience for our customers, partners and employees.”
