Turin merging with Force10
BOULDER - Turin Networks Inc. plans to merge with Force10 Networks Inc. and will be branded under Force10's name, the companies announced Monday.
The joint company, which will focus on networks within the data center and service provider markets, will be headquartered at Force10's San Jose, Calif. location if the merger is finalized as expected in March.
"Currently there are no plans to close any of the facilities," said Debra Layton, Petaluma, Calif.-based Turin's director of marketing communications.
That includes Turin's Boulder campus, located at 6150 Lookout Road, which employs about 50 people among its research and development and marketing departments, she said.
Layton said after the merger is complete, the company will reassess costs and look at ways to consolidate, but no decisions have been made.
"The inherent synergies of Force10 Networks and Turin Networks create opportunities to leverage existing joint distribution, integration and technology alliance partners," James Hanley said in a statement.
Hanley, Force10's current president and chief executive officer, will serve as president of field operations once the companies merge. Henry Wasik, Turin's current president and chief executive officer, will become president and chief executive of the combined company.
Turin purchased Boulder-based Carrier Access Corp., a provider of wireless backhaul optimization, for $92.7 million in February 2008.
