About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Cemtrex to Acquire Mechanical Contracting and Steel Fabrication Company to Expand AIS Industrial Segment

Brooklyn, NY, June 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  - Cemtrex Inc. (NASDAQ: CETX, CETXP), an advanced security technology and industrial services company, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a leading service contractor and steel fabricator that specializes in industrial and water treatment markets.

Founded in 1988 in Central Pennsylvania, the industrial service contractor is focused on steel fabrication and contracting primarily to the commercial and industrial water treatment industry, as well as other service industries. The company provides the water treatment industry with a variety of fabricated vessels and equipment including ASME pressure vessels, heat exchangers, mix tanks, reactors, and other specialized fabricated equipment. Additionally, the contracting team assists with installation and service of fabricated items. The company has over 33,000 square feet of manufacturing floor space in its facility and an experienced staff of fabricators, welders, and field mechanics.

“This acquisition of an established contractor in a growth market is highly synergistic with our Advanced Industrial Services (“AIS”) subsidiary,” said Saagar Govil, Cemtrex Chairman and CEO. “We will build on the company’s achievements, enabling us to expand our fabrication capabilities into new markets, and our customer base into government and industrial verticals, as well as expanded geographies, the company is not servicing today. As a result of aging infrastructure, increased water scarcity, and stringent EPA rules, the demand for water treatment systems and service is expected to grow into the future.

“The acquisition brings over $11.6 million in annual revenue and approximately $775K in adjusted EBITDA, when averaged over the last four years, with its client list of commercial and industrial facilities, a seasoned team and extensive manufacturing equipment. We expect to add significant value beyond the immediately accretive revenue stream and believe the acquisition will continue to drive future growth. This also represents the first acquisition as part of our Industrial segment’s expansion strategy, with opportunity for more down the road,” concluded Govil.

Cemtrex reported a strong fiscal second quarter 2023 performance for its Industrial segment, with revenue increasing 23% to $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company believes AIS will continue to expand revenues and may exceed its original 3% target of $21.8 million for fiscal year 2023, driven by continued strength in the Industrial Services market. Gross Profit increased 51% to $2.2 million and Gross Profit Margin for AIS improved to 36% for the quarter compared to 29% for the prior year.

Cemtrex will acquire the company for $2.4 million in cash and a note and the real estate the business occupies is also being purchased for $1.5M, subject to customary closing adjustments. Cemtrex will fund the transaction with existing cash on hand and through bank financing from Fulton Bank. The acquisition is expected to close in June 2023, subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to be accretive beginning in Q4 FY2023.
