Swiss Cabling specialist R&M has announced the acquisition of Realm Communications Group, a North American fiber-optic specialist based in California as part of its plan to boost its position in the fiber optic cabling market.

Founded in 1987, Realm is a leader in developing and supplying advanced fiber management products for data center, wireless antenna systems, enterprise networks and the Silicon Valley’s OEMs.

It is well known for customer-specific, high-quality cabling solutions in the local markets.

“The acquisition of Realm offers R&M access to the world’s most important network cabling market, allowing us to serve customers on each continent with high-end network solutions for the LAN, data center and Public Network markets," remarked Michel Riva, the chief executive of R&M.

“We are very excited about the new growth opportunities with this geographical expansion. Realm is not only providing us with complementary technology but will also give us access to high end-customers in the strongly growing North American Data Center market,” he added.

In many ways, the innovative and high-quality cabling solutions from Realm and R&M are complimentary and offer an extended solutions portfolio for the customers, said John Russell, the founder of Realm.

"Over the last 28 years, we have built excellent customer relationships through our expertise in fiber-optic technology and our ability to react swiftly to customer needs. We are thrilled to become a part of R&M's global organization. Together we can accelerate our growth and take the company to the next level," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
