Uniguest Expands Kiosk Division with Purchase of Showcase Technology's U.S. Kiosk Locations

Uniguest, a provider of print, technology and specialized services globally for the lodging, restaurant and healthcare industries, announces the continued expansion of its kiosk division, with the purchase of Showcase Technology's U.S. hotel business center customers.

Riverview Capital Advisors, LLC acted as the exclusive financial advisor to the principals of Uniguest in the acquisition. The transaction was financed by Nashville-based Pinnacle Financial Partners. Details of the deal were not given. Exceptions to the agreement are Waldorf Astoria Hotel and Resorts and Fairmont Hotel properties, which Showcase, based in Torrance, Calif., will maintain.

Uniguest's kiosk division provides security software protection, ongoing IT help desk support and general kiosk management for approximately 3,000 global hotel customers and more than 5,000 computer workstations. The acquisition will add close to 350 USA locations and 600 computer workstations.

Customers will experience no downtime or change of services as part of this transaction. They will continue to receive the same high level of support and Showcase software solutions.

As part of the acquisition, Uniguest will become a reseller of Showcase's NetStop kiosk software as well as license Showcase's proprietary database management software for kiosks.

Uniguest will be showcasing its technology products and services at HITEC 2010 in Orlando, Fla., June 21-24, booth 1343.
