The Company operates across the entire Southern US region, serving thousands of customers. PSG is actively expanding new locations into adjacent markets throughout the Southern US and beyond.
“We are proud to be partnering with Bertram to accelerate our next phase of growth and to continue to develop our team, capabilities, and market leading position in perimeter solutions,” said Wes Tolbert, CEO of PSG. “The team at Bertram demonstrated a thorough understanding of our brand, industry and Company values. Additionally, by introducing the digital capabilities of Bertram Labs, we believe we will further accelerate growth and improve our business processes to better serve our customers. We look forward to becoming a part of the Bertram team.”
