Hagerman & Company Acquires ALACAD Business Operations

BIRMINGHAM, AL – Hagerman & Company, Inc., one of the nation’s largest Autodesk value-added resellers, has acquired the business operations of Birmingham–based ALACAD effective immediately. Many of the former employees of ALACAD have accepted positions with Hagerman.
ALACAD, a 25-year Autodesk reseller, has been one of the oldest Autodesk resellers and has built a significant market share in the South. ALACAD has now resigned as an Autodesk reseller in favor of Hagerman & Company.

“This expansion into the Deep South opens the possibility of considerable growth for the company", said Hagerman president, Dennis Hagerman. “We welcome the loyal patrons of ALACAD into the Hagerman family of customers, and look forward to serving them with the outstanding team that has powered our growth across America.”

“Hagerman & Company has shown an outstanding ability to integrate other resellers into its operations,” said Steve Blum, senior vice president of Americas Sales, Autodesk. “We’re pleased to support their expansion into Alabama and the South.”

Hagerman & Company will maintain the ALACAD Birmingham office at 2687 John Hawkins Parkway with the same toll-free telephone number: 888-442-3100. Hagerman & Company will also continue to offer training classes, seminars and hands-on test drives at that location.

ALACAD President, Kirk Newell stated, "Ultimately, we chose Hagerman & Company because of the similarity of our business philosophies; commitment to customer satisfaction and continued growth opportunities for employees."

Hagerman & Company will host an Open House at the Birmingham office on December 8, 2011. The event will feature Autodesk software demonstrations including sessions for architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), manufacturing, product data management (PDM), plant design and a popular “AutoCAD Tips & Tricks” session. In addition, guests can meet founders Dennis & Sandy Hagerman, and other members of the Hagerman/ALACAD team, and learn about the new product and service offerings that will now be available in the region.
