BlueStream Professional Services Acquires TE Professional Services

FARIBAULT, Minn., April 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BlueStream Professional Services, LLC, an affiliate of KGP Logistics, has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain assets of the professional services business of TE Connectivity.  BlueStream will operate independently of KGP Logistics. The transaction is expected to close in April 2012.  Terms of the transaction were not released.   

BlueStream, which will maintain a significant presence in Marietta, Georgia, is a woman-owned (WBE) market leading provider of engineering, furnishing, installation, and other outsourced services to the communications industry.  BlueStream services its customers from 15 regional offices across the U.S., along with a national network of seven distribution and eight integration centers. 

"While KGP has been providing EF&I services throughout the industry for over twenty years, this acquisition gives us the opportunity to scale and consolidate our services platform independently within BlueStream, allowing intense focus on each core business, while continuing to leverage KGP's core supply chain, distribution and logistics market leading capabilities," said Kathleen G. Putrah, BlueStream Chairman and CEO.  "BlueStream will be focused on expanding support of existing customers, while developing stronger working partnerships with strategic OEMs and other Professional Services companies in the communications industry."

The former TE Connectivity employees that transitioned with the business will become employees of BlueStream.

Livingstone Partners served as the exclusive financial advisor to KGP.  Felhaber, Larson, Fenlon & Vogt, P.A. served as legal counsel.
