Revalize acquires food-service software firm (Courtesy of the Jacksonville Daily Record & PR Newswire) — Jacksonville-based Revalize announced Oct. 11 it acquired KCL, an Orlando-based company that designs software for food-service equipment.
Revalize, which provides software for manufacturers, was formed in June 2021 by AutoQuotes LLC and private equity firm TA Associates.
Revalize CEO Mike Sabin said in a news release the acquisition of KCL “further strengthens our already market-leading capabilities within the foodservice industry.”
“This addition continues to expand our global footprint and bolsters our commitment to reshaping the world of manufacturing software across industries,” he said.
Through the acquisition, KCL’s design customers will find it even easier to design and customize kitchen layouts by staying in one system and using AQ to easily configure and buy products. Meanwhile, manufacturers can easily list design files and configure, price, and quote on the streamlined, integrated solution from Revalize.
“We are thrilled to announce the acquisition of KCL. It further strengthens our already market-leading capabilities within the foodservice industry,” says Mike Sabin, CEO of Revalize. “This addition continues to expand our global footprint and bolsters our commitment to reshaping the world of manufacturing software across industries. KCL’s robust design tools complement Revalize’s current offerings by bringing FES designers and manufacturers closer together with one streamlined solution.”
KCL allows FES designers and manufacturers to access a vast equipment library of accurate, up-to-date designs to easily add equipment to their kitchen layouts. KCL solutions include BIM/CAD Designer, which allows users to search, view, and download CAD blocks and Revit families for designs, and KCL NapkinSketch, which facilitates designs without running a CAD or Revit program.
“We have worked hard to provide the best tools to our customers for the last 38 years,” says Kevin Kochman, President and Founder of KCL. “By combining forces with AQ Revalize, KCL has increased the opportunities to fulfill our brand promise of helping people work more efficiently.”
Terms of the deal were not announced.
