BTA member A&B Business Solutions (A&B) has announced a strategic partnership with BTA member JD Young Technologies. The partnership brings together two organizations with closely aligned values, similar business models and a shared vision for long-term growth while maintaining a strong local presence. Both companies are multigenerational, family-owned businesses rooted in integrity, community and relationship-driven service.

JD Young has a long and proud history of serving customers throughout Oklahoma and surrounding states. With a strong foundation in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and accelerated growth in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and additional markets, JD Young has earned a reputation for innovation, reliability and outstanding customer support.

"This partnership is the result of more than two years of thoughtful planning and conversation," said Dennis Aanenson, president, A&B Business Solutions. "As A&B looked to expand its territory across the Midwest, it was critical to align with a company that shared our values, culture and commitment to customers. JD Young is a perfect fit, and this partnership strengthens both organizations."

"Our companies have remarkably similar cultures and long-term outlooks," said Robert Stuart, CEO, JD Young Technologies. "Our ownership teams have been friends for more than 25 years, and this partnership allows us to expand resources and capabilities while remaining local, family-owned and customer focused.”

There will be no changes for customers of either company. Existing relationships, contracts and service teams will remain the same and will now be backed by expanded support, shared expertise and enhanced resources. Customers will benefit from increased investment in technology, people and service infrastructure.

By aligning brands, sharing best practices and leveraging combined resources, A&B and JD Young are positioned to accelerate growth while preserving the positive family culture and strong moral foundation that define both organizations.

"This is about building for the future while honoring our past," Stuart and Aanenson said. "Together, we're creating more opportunity for our customers, our employees and the communities we serve."
