Chantilly IT firm acquired by N.C. company

A year shy of its 30th anniversary, Chantilly-based IT services provider SolutionWorx has been acquired by WingSwept, a B2B tech services company based in Garner, North Carolina, the companies announced.

The deal, which became effective March 31, will allow the managed IT service providers to grow, and provide SolutionWorx with the resources of a larger organization. SolutionWorx’s location in the D.C. metro area added to the appeal, WingSwept noted. Terms of the acquisition were  not disclosed.

“We will be increasing our scale of expertise and range of capabilities while further diversifying our skillset,” said Jay Strickland, founder and CEO of WingSwept, in a statement, “enabling WingSwept to better support all of our clients, and to expand our potential to serve new markets.”

“Together WingSwept and SolutionWorx bring an aligned, employee-focused culture with the ability to serve more clients and employees,” said Mike Mazan, founder and CEO of SolutionWorx, in a statement.

The companies have worked together on projects, according to the announcement, and Mazan and Strickland have served as advisers to each other for more than a decade.

WingSwept, founded in 2000, made the Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing privately owned companies for nine of the last 10 years.
