A.F. Associates parent finalizes Sony SIC deal

Ascent Media Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Media Corporation, has finalized its agreement with Sony Electronics to acquire the assets of Sony’s Systems Integration Center (SIC), effective January 1.

Northvale, New Jersey-based A.F. Associates (AFA), will incorporate SIC into its operations while also gaining a much-needed west coast presence in San Jose, Calif. Nearly 60 former SIC employees have joined AFA, in the areas of technology, engineering design and installation.

AFA will continue to be led by Tom Canavan, president, along with his existing team based out of the New Jersey office, although management has expanded to include David Orr, former VP/GM of SIC, now senior vice president, western operations, and Keith Jackson, now director, Professional Services.
