In the more than three years that we have partnered with HPS and TCP we’ve successfully delivered against our customer-focused strategy. With this transition, we have taken significant steps to recapitalize and strategically position Globecomm for long-term success. Their collective experience and extensive expertise collaborating with management teams and companies in our industry will further enhance our ability to grow our business and provide our customers with state-of-the art services and solutions.
