Park Place Technologies seals union with Service Express

The new entity will serve over 20,000 customers across four continents

Park Place Technologies has completed its merger with Service Express, becoming an organisation with a worldwide presence and a workforce of more than 3,000 employees.

The newly formed entity will serve over 20,000 customers across North America, Europe, Asia and South America.

The firm will provide support across GPU maintenance, liquid cooling and managed infrastructure services, while continuing to invest in AI and digitisation.

The combination will also reportedly boost Park Place’s ability to deliver infrastructure services across traditional, cloud and AI-accelerated environments.

Under the new structure, Chris Adams will assume the position of CEO and member of the board of directors at Park Place Technologies.

Ron Alvesteffer, former CEO of Service Express, will also serve as a board director.

“This merger accelerates Park Place’s strategy to lead the global market in datacentre and infrastructure services,” said Adams.

“With unmatched global scale and deep technical expertise, we are built to support the world’s most demanding, mission-critical environments across traditional, cloud and AI-driven infrastructure.”

Alvesteffer added: “By bringing together two industry leaders, Park Place is uniquely positioned to set a new standard for datacentre solutions worldwide.

“I look forward to serving on the board as the company enters its next era of growth and excellence.”

The merger was first announced in September last year, with Adams stating at the time the union would allow both companies to capitalise on the rapid evolution of datacentre technology.

It was also announced that Charlesbank Capital Partners and GTCR, which have backed Park Place since 2019, will exit their investment as part of the transaction.

This follows an acquisitive year for Park Place, as the datacentre and networking optimisation firm purchased Birmingham-based IT managed services provider CSI Ltd in 2025, which brought the organisation’s headcount to more than 2,200 employees.

The Ohio-HQ company’s UK arm ranks number 41 in CRN’s Top VARs list.

Service Express’ British branch stands at number 74 in the ranking.
