Plano-based Accurate Connections Inc. has been acquired by UCL Swift, a South Korean company whose Americas headquarters is located in Carrollton.

UCL Swift is a global provider of high-precision fiber optic termination products and connectivity solutions. Accurate Connections is a leading manufacturer of custom fiber optic and copper cable assemblies for the datacom and telecom industries.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. ACI will now be known as UCL Connections, a subsidiary of UCL Swift.

Brad Everette, general manager for UCL Swift North America, called the acquisition “a significant milestone” as his company continues to innovate and lead in the connectivity space.

“Accurate Connections’ reputation for quality, flexibility, and reliability perfectly aligns with our mission to provide the best possible products and customer service to our customers,” Everette said in a statement. “Together, we’ll enhance our ability to meet the growing demands of the datacom and telecom industries.”

UCL Swift said the strategic acquisition strengthens its product portfolio, expands its manufacturing capabilities, and reinforces its commitment to providing “innovative, reliable, and efficient” connectivity solutions to customers nationwide.

ACI leadership also conveyed their enthusiasm for the acquisition.

“We’re very excited to be joining the UCL Swift family and look forward to leveraging their market presence, brand recognition, and reputation to further grow our footprint in the marketplace,” Peggy Kovling, president and CEO of ACI, said in a statement.

Founded in 1982, UCL Swift said it has built a reputation for engineering cutting-edge optical fiber termination products and tools that meet the demands of a rapidly evolving telecommunications landscape. It said that with the acquisition of ACI, UCL Swift will leverage ACI’s expertise in custom cable assemblies and its just-in-time manufacturing methods, which allow for fast, flexible, and cost-effective order fulfillment with no minimum order requirements, no dropship penalties, and no blanket order requirements.

Accurate Connections said it has been a trusted provider of fiber optic and copper cable assemblies for more than 20 years.

ACI’s comprehensive product range, including custom-made cable assemblies and a wide selection of stocked cables, connectors, and adapters, will complement UCL Swift’s existing offerings, allowing the combined company to deliver even more comprehensive solutions to customers, UCL Swift said.
