Washington-based smart building controls provider ATS Automation has added Intelligent Building Systems, headquartered in Papillion, Nebraska, to its family of companies.

This addition will enable ATS’s continued growth in Nebraska and the midwest region of the USA while providing increased capabilities and support for national account clients.

ATS will add Intelligent Building Systems to the ATS Rocky Mountain organisation within its family of companies and will serve customers under the new name of ATS Rocky Mountain.

“IBS and ATS share a common set of values centered on serving customers, supporting team members, and maintaining an unwavering commitment to integrity,” said Howard Carson, CEO of Intelligent Building Systems (www.ibldgs.com). “As we considered the long-term future of our company, the opportunity to partner with ATS proved to be a natural and strategically aligned fit.”

Intelligent Building Systems is the latest organisation to join the ATS family of system providers. The partnership highlights ATS’s mission in building technologies by providing people, engineering, service support and products in all the markets they serve.

“Welcoming Intelligent Building Systems to the ATS family enables us to immediately leverage an established team of highly skilled facility engineering professionals,” said Bradley Allen, vice president at ATS. “This move supports ATS’s continued growth while preserving our independence in an industry experiencing rapid consolidation.”

ATS serves clients in Washington, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, North Dakota, Utah, Nebraska, eastern Oregon, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and national account customers across the USA and Canada.

Established in 1986, ATS (www.atsintegrators.com) is a provider of energy management services, automated control systems, critical airflow products, facility analytics and building systems integration. Headquartered in Renton, Washington, with a local management and ownership team and dedicated controls engineers and technicians, ATS says it can support any size project regardless of its complexity.
