Steve Sigmon, owner and President of STM, said, "STM has found an ideal partner in IPS that will continue STM's legacy of innovation, problem-solving, and collaboration while diligently supporting our customers to solve their most difficult challenges. It was clear from my time with the IPS team that we share similar visions for the future, and I couldn't be more excited for the future of the business."

Rich McManus, President and CEO of IPS, commented, "Since we first met Steve and were introduced to STM, we have continued to be impressed by not only the quality of his company, but also the experience, depth, and dedication of his team. It is truly an exceptional organisation, and we take the responsibility of partnering with Steve and his team for STM's next chapter very seriously and with great humility.
