Access acquires Recall operations in 13 metro areas

Access acquires Recall operations in 13 metro areas
<![CDATA[

Rob Alston, CEO of Livermore, California-based Access, has announced the company’s acquisition of document management assets from Boston-based Iron Mountain in 13 U.S. geographies. These are locations that had been operated by Recall until that company’s acquisition by Iron Mountain May 1, 2016.

As part of Iron Mountain’s acquisition of Recall, the Department of Justice (DOJ) Antitrust Division’s review identified 15 metropolitan areas where Iron Mountain was required to divest Recall’s document management operations given they were two of the three largest providers of document management services. After review, the DOJ approved Access as the buyer for 13 of the 15 geographies, the company says.

This transaction is the 100th for Access and represents the company’s entrance into the new metropolitan areas of Pittsburgh; Detroit; San Antonio; Kansas City, Kansas; Nashville, Tennessee; the North Carolina cities of Charlotte, Raleigh, Richmond and Greenville-Spartanburg; Buffalo, New York; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and San Diego. Closing took place May 4, 2016.

“We are excited to announce this broad expansion of our business,” Alston says. “By adding 13 new geographies to the 47 we already serve, we are now in a position to meet more of our clients’ needs in perhaps all of the cities in which they do business.”

He continues, “The more than 2,500 clients we have added as a result of this acquisition will continue to rely on the more than 120 former-Recall Team Members joining us, now led and supported by the Access leadership team. With our comprehensive solutions and trademark ‘very best service’ offered to them, I am confident these new clients will be very pleased with their transition to Access.”

John Chendo, Access president, adds, “This clearly represents another major step forward for Access. We will again be taking advantage of this opportunity to fuel ongoing growth over the long term. As a part of that effort we will continue to search for and identify strategic acquisition opportunities with select records and information management service providers here in the U.S. and internationally.”

Ropes & Gray LLP and Jones Waldo Holbrook & McDonough PC, served as legal counsel to Access.
