Yorktel and Kinly claim they have created a top-five global managed services provider in the collaboration space by completing their merger.
Known as ‘Yorktel-Kinly’, the enlarged company will boast annual revenues of $480m, employ 1,600 staff and serve 2,500 customers across 27 offices.
The duo both boast sizeable UK businesses, with Kinly ranking 43rd in Oxygen 250 2025 (with local revenues of £110m), and Yorktel sitting just outside the report cut-off (with 2024 UK revenues of £16.6m).
Kinly turbo-charged its UK business during lockdown when it snapped up AVMI.
Yorktel CEO to take reins
The combined global business will be led by Yorktel CEO Ken Scaturro, with Kinly CEO Tom Martin becoming Chief Strategy Officer.
It will be backed by One Equity Partners, which invested in New Jersey-based Yorktel in 2024 – with Amsterdam-based Kinly’s former backer Avedon Capital Partners standing aside.
The union will combine Kinly’s “market-leading capabilities in AV and UCC integration” with Yorktel’s “strength in managed services and systems engineering”.
“The collaboration and IT services market is evolving rapidly. Clients are looking for integrated, scalable, and managed solutions across AV, IT, and networking. This merger enables us to deliver exactly that,” Scaturro said.
A new leadership team, effective from January 2026, will “bring together industry leaders from both companies”.
The deal positions Yorktel-Kinly among the world’s top five global managed services providers in the collaboration space, the duo claim.
It comes after the world’s largest audio-visual integrator, AVI-SPL, changed ownership in June. It claims to have 4,400 employees.
