“We are thrilled to welcome B.A. Hoft of Charlotte, Inc. to the IOS family,” said Joe Lopez, CEO of Integrated Openings Solutions. “When we are considering a partnership or acquisition for our business, we ask ourselves two very important questions: 1) is the culture we are getting ready to join forces with one that complements and/or betters us at IOS, and 2) can we see IOS and the existing team working together to do even greater things when we join forces. We feel that Chris King and his team are a big “yes” to both of those questions and we know that while working together, their existing operations will help build a strong foundation for growth in the Southeast region.”
