Apogee Insight today announced that the company has acquired PMA Research.
Apogee Insight said that the acquisition ensures that PMA’s research services will continue and resources, capabilities and coverage will expand into growing areas. PMA Research’s Nick Rogers will retire following the transition.
“It has been a privilege to lead PMA Research and to work alongside such a talented and dedicated team,” said Rogers, “I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together over the years and the trust the industry has placed in our work. As I step into retirement, I’m confident that PMA’s future is in great hands with Lee Dodson and Sean Wargo. Their experience, vision and commitment to the integrity of the research make them the right leaders to guide the organization into its next chapter.”
PMA research will continue to operate as a source for manufacturers, distributors and channel partners worldwide, and the PMA team will remain alongside uninterrupted service for clients. Apogee Insight said that founders Lee Dodson and Sean Wargo will lead the organization forward in an effort to expand the research portfolio and invest in modern analytics technologies and additional proprietary data sources. Dodson will serve as COO and Wargo will be CAO of PMA Research.
Apogee Insight believes that the acquisition will allow the organization to extend into emerging industries outside of displays.
“The display industry today spans far more technologies than when PMA first began tracking projectors,” said Sean Wargo, Co-Principal of Apogee Insight. “By combining PMA’s unmatched historical data with Apogee Insight’s analytics capabilities and expanded data sources, we can deliver a clearer, more complete view of more of the market while maintaining the integrity clients have always relied on.”
PMA Research will continue to provide reports, data services, and analyst support for its clients and Apogee Insight said that additional offerings will be introduced as the organization’s capabilities begin to expand.
“PMA Research has earned its reputation over decades as the definitive source of display market intelligence,” said Lee Dodson, Co-Principal of Apogee Insight. “Our priority is to preserve that legacy and build on it — expanding the scope of research, strengthening the data foundation, and giving our clients deeper insight into a display market that continues to evolve.”
