Illinois company acquires Windsor-based Imagine More

WINDSOR — Liaison Technology Group has acquired Windsor-based Imagine More, creating a comprehensive platform in the custom installation industry.

The transaction couples Imagine More’s four retail lighting showrooms and e-commerce presence with Decatur, Illinois-based Liaison’s retail, design, technology, installation and long-term service. It combines the accessibility and product selection of a retail lighting business with Liaison’s engineering, design and installation capabilities. Together, the companies will offer a connected range of services spanning decorative and architectural lighting fixtures, lighting design and control, window treatments, audio and video, automation, networking, security, commercial technology, and online retail and fulfillment.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

Founded in 2009 by Lenard Gale and Don Brehm, Imagine More operates four retail showrooms across Northern Colorado and Cheyenne. The company claims to be one of the largest Hunter Douglas dealers in the country.

“This acquisition significantly expands how and when Liaison can become part of a project,” Steve Weber, founder and CEO of Liaison Technology Group and president of Imagine More, said in a prepared statement. “By bringing Imagine More’s four established retail lighting showrooms and growing e-commerce business together with Liaison’s design, engineering and custom integration expertise, we can meet clients wherever their journey begins. It also allows us to collaborate earlier and more closely with designers, architects and builders to create a more complete and coordinated experience.”

Effective immediately, Imagine More has joined Liaison Technology Group through a stock sale transaction while remaining the same legal entity. This structure allows existing operations, agreements, customer relationships and warranties to continue without interruption while giving Imagine More access to Liaison’s expanded resources and custom installation infrastructure.

As part of the transition, Brehm will retire after more than 15 years of helping build and lead the company. Co-founder Gale will remain with the organization as vice president for lighting sales for Liaison Technology Group. Additional details about Gale’s leadership role and the  company’s continued growth will be announced separately.
