Purchasing Management International (PMI), a procurement services provider for the hospitality industry, has acquired certain interests of Pineapple Procurement. The sale takes effect on July 1.
“We felt the opportunity to acquire Pineapple Procurement was the right move for both organizations,” said Carl Long, president/CEO, PMI. “Both companies share a philosophy centered on client service, quality design execution and lasting relationships. We are excited about the expanded capabilities this brings to our clients and partners.”
Jackie Wright, founder/principal, Pineapple Procurement, added, “Building Pineapple Procurement has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. I’m incredibly proud of the relationships we’ve built and the work we’ve done to support design-forward hospitality projects. Joining forces with PMI feels like a natural evolution—one that ensures our clients will continue to receive exceptional service with even greater resources behind them. I have deep respect for PMI’s leadership and values, and I’m confident this next chapter will be a strong one for our clients, our industry partners, and the legacy of Pineapple.”
With this acquisition, PMI will further enhance its ability to manage multiple concurrent projects across the globe while maintaining the personalized service and design sensitivity that both firms are known for, according to the company.
