AMERICAN SYSTEMS has acquired Epsilon Inc., a managed IT and cybersecurity company based in Weaverville, North Carolina. The deal adds over 400 employees and marks the largest acquisition in AMERICAN SYSTEMS’ 50-year history.
Epsilon brings a multi-tenant service delivery model, a wide geographic reach and expertise in both federal and commercial markets. AMERICAN SYSTEMS said the added scale and capabilities will help it meet evolving customer needs and improve efficiency.
“Acquisitions are an important element of our growth strategy, and we work hard to ensure that we select companies that are a good fit for us, both strategically and culturally,” said John Steckel, AMERICAN SYSTEMS president and CEO.
“Epsilon shares our commitment to supporting national priorities, and their culture will mesh well with ours. This acquisition marks an important milestone in our strategic growth, broadening our customer base and deepening our ability to support them in their efforts to modernize and transform securely, rapidly and efficiently.”
Epsilon’s services will be integrated with AMERICAN SYSTEMS in January 2026. Until then, it will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary, continuing to support select markets.
“Joining AMERICAN SYSTEMS allows us to take everything that we have built over the past sixteen years and make it even better.” said Peter Penzell, CEO of Epsilon. “Expanding on what we have built while giving our employees the opportunity to become employee-owners in AMERICAN SYSTEMS creates an amazing opportunity for everyone.”
