I soon realized that partnering with Trivest and their colleagues at BII would be the best way for ABC-Amega to finally achieve my dream of becoming the biggest, most advanced, most international, and most successful US-based provider in our industry. Two months after completing our transaction, I’m even more convinced and satisfied by my decision to join forces with them.”
