Diversified just acquired HB Communications, a leading audiovisual integration firm headquartered in North Haven, Connecticut.

“Expanding our footprint in the Northeast is a strategic step in sustaining the necessary growth to deliver the best possible service for our customers,” said Fred D’Alessandro, founder and CEO of Diversified. “I am excited to welcome the team at HB, with their widely recognized industry presence and experience, into the Diversified family.”

HB’s solutions portfolio — including audiovisual, broadcast, collaboration, creative services, digital signage and managed services — will further enhance Diversified’s comprehensive offerings and provide needed support to address a growing and changing marketplace. With a greater workforce presence now in the Northeast, the acquisition positions the company to help more organizations answer the call of modern digital media, communications and collaboration needs. What’s more, the acquisition provides existing HB clientele access to additional technology specialties such as security and IT as well as professional resources on a global scale, enhancing their operations with a single dedicated technology partner.

“Since we share a common mission centered on connecting people and organizations by empowering communications worldwide, joining Diversified offers a host of exciting new opportunities for our team,” said Dana Barron, CEO of HB Communications. “Given Diversified’s reputation of engineering excellence, innovation and dedication within the market, I know that we will achieve great things together.”

In addition to the expanded geographical footprint, HB’s long list of high-profile clients in both higher education and corporate enterprise adds an impressive track record of experience to Diversified’s repertoire. And, as the first major acquisition in the industry since the pandemic, this move demonstrates Diversified’s continued commitment to growth— seizing opportunities that are mutually beneficial to its clients and internal teams.
