The computer cabling company, based in the Prices Corner area west of Wilmington, was purchased during the recession year of 2009 from MTM Technologies, which had earlier purchased information technology company InfoSystems and its cabling operation.
Principals are Mark Stellini, founder of InfoSystems and Jennifer McKenzie, an executive of InfoSystems.
McKenzie, the president of Assurance Media, said the company has grown 20 percent a year, with employment rising from 19 to 30. Stellini says further growth is expected. Both Stellini and McKenzie praised the work of the company’s staff in keeping Assurance on a growth track.
Stellini also serves as the Chairman of the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce and chairs the board of Delaware Technical Community College.
The company has expanded beyond cabling and networks to include areas such as audio visual and security systems.
Assurance used the state’s LIFT loan program for small businesses and has also employed a number graduates from the New Castle County vocational Technical School District.
On hand for the event was Gov. Jack Markell, who praised the company’s growth, adding that the state does not simply chase big employers, but works with companies of all sizes.
Assurance Media serves an array of commercial and government clients in Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland.
