This merger will truly position us to quickly move forward in pursuit of our strategic objectives as we add value for customers, employees and the shareholders. This will be achieved through the extension of our geography served, increased scope of services we offer with greater depth of experience, and the significantly increased number of industries we can serve across all regions," said Stephen Loyd, President and CEO of Coastal Range, who will act in the same capacity within Encaptis.
