Aplin Announces Acquisition of Vantix Systems Inc.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Edmonton, Alberta — February 23, 2026 – David Aplin & Associates Inc. (“Aplin”) is pleased to announce that it has acquired Vantix Systems Inc., a well-established enterprise technology consulting and IT services company specializing in Staff Augmentation, Application Management Services (AMS), and Custom Application/Product Development. Vantix has served both public- and private-sector organizations for 35 years, earning a reputation as a trusted, high-performing technology partner, including long-standing preferred vendor status with the Government of Alberta. This acquisition represents a significant step forward in Aplin’s long-term strategy to expand its technology capabilities, strengthen cross-brand alignment, and deliver integrated talent and solutions to clients across Canada and the United States.

Strengthening Aplin’s Technology & Solutions Capabilities

Vantix brings a deeply complementary three-pillar service offering that enhances Aplin’s ability to support clients with full lifecycle workforce and technology solutions:

• IT Staff Augmentation – Over 100 active contractors and a strong track record of candidate quality and service delivery
• Application Management Services (AMS) – High-renewal, recurring service engagements
• Custom Application / Product Development – High-value solutions for enterprise and government clients

Together, Aplin and Vantix can support clients across the full spectrum, from workforce solutions to enterprise technology consulting and managed application services. The alignment of Vantix’s core capabilities with Aplin’s national reach and multi-brand ecosystem (Aplin, CompuStaff, Impact, Vantix) creates a strong foundation for accelerated, scalable growth.

A Thoughtful, Phased Integration

Vantix will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Aplin for at least the first year, maintaining its leadership team, brand, and delivery structure. All roles, compensation, and client engagements remain unchanged through this initial period.

“We have long admired the quality of Vantix’s people, their commitment to client service, and their reputation for delivering exceptional results,” said Jeff Aplin, President & CEO of Aplin. “This acquisition builds on our shared strengths and positions both organizations for long-term success in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.” 

A Strong Future, Together

Vantix founder Adrian Van Os will remain with the business and will join Aplin as an equity partner, reinforcing long-term alignment and shared commitment to growth.

“We’re excited to join the Aplin family,” said Adrian Van Os. “Aplin’s national infrastructure, brand strength, and multi-disciplinary capabilities create new opportunities for Vantix’s employees, clients, and contractors. Together, we’re building something stronger for the future.”
