Wesbell buys Vista Telecom Networks


MISSISSAUGA — Contractor The Wesbell Group of Companies announced Tuesday it has completed its acquisition of Edmonton-based Vista Telecom Networks.

Wesbell provides services to the telecommunications industry through its wholly owned subsidiary, Wesbell Technologies Inc. The acquisition allows Wesbell Technologies to immediately operate in Alberta while at the same time accelerating its growth into British Columbia, says the news release.

“Wesbell and Vista have worked together on many projects over the past 10 years. The familiarity with the Vista team makes this acquisition such a natural fit,” said Nick Mazze, president and CEO of Wesbell, in the news release. “This is another significant step for Wesbell in its expansion to better serve its customers across Canada and the United States.”

Through its various subsidiaries, Wesbell provides a wide range of services to the communications industry including wireless construction, engineering, installation, electrical contracting services, network integration, investment recovery and recycling, along with a full suite of transportation, warehousing and logistics services offerings to all industry types.

Vista Telecom Networks was founded in 1995 (as Vista ComTech) to provide specialized microwave installation and commissioning services to the rapidly expanding cellular industry. Over the last 25 years, it has grown to nearly 50 employees and provides a full range of civil and technical installation services to the wireless industry, along with oil and gas, government, and utility customers in Alberta and other parts of Western Canada.
