LENORA - Nex-Tech is pleased to announce it has reached an agreement to acquire Vic Innovations of Atwood effective June 1, 2021.
Vic Innovations was founded in 2013 and began as a computer repair company. Today, the company provides Internet, voice services, web hosting services, and computer repair to customers in Atwood, McDonald, Bird City, and the surrounding rural areas.
“This acquisition is a perfect fit for Nex-Tech and strategically aligns with plans we have for the area after receiving the Broadband Access Grant (BAG) from the Kansas Department of Commerce in March,” said Jimmy Todd, CEO and general manager of Nex-Tech.
The Nex-Tech BAG project will provide high-speed broadband for up to 429 underserved rural locations across 261 square miles in Bird City and along Highway 36 from Oberlin to Bird City in Decatur, Rawlins, and Cheyenne counties. The project will have a combination of fiber and fixed wireless coverage areas. As Nex-Tech begins network upgrades in the area, customers will receive information on new Internet speeds and packages as well as other services that will be available.
“Serving the customers of Atwood, McDonald, and Bird City has been a privilege and I am pleased to have brought reliable broadband service to my customers,” said Simon Micek, vice chairman and CEO of Vic Innovations. As part of the acquisition, Simon will relocate to the Hays, area with his family and will be employed as a network operations engineer in Victoria.
