Vonachen Services, Inc. (VSI), Peoria, Illinois, acquired K-Tech Building Maintenance, an affiliated entity of K-Tech Kleening Systems, Weston, Wisconsin, in December.

"We are very excited about VSI and the K-tech Building Maintenance division joining together, says Craig Kersemeier, president of K-tech. "VSI gives us the regional strength, support and expertise that we need for continued growth in our markets. Our two experienced teams combined create an organization that can provide enhanced comprehensive solutions to our client's needs. A key deciding factor for bringing our companies together was common values that benefit our employees and our customers."

Pursant, LLC, Bannockburn, Illinois, acted as the sole merger and acquisition advisor to VSI for the transaction.

"The Pursant team was great to work with. Mark Herbick and his team helped identify a company that shares the same values and commitment we have to our employees and customers and bring the companies together," says Matt Vonachen, president of VSI. "The K-tech team will significantly enhance our presence in Central Wisconsin. The Kersemeier Family has done an outstanding job building their business and we look forward to continuing to build our relationship with the family."
