New Top Bidder, Arecont Goes To Auction

Published Jul 05, 2018 15:04 PM

$10 million cash will not be enough to buy Arecont.

Though Arecont signed a purchase agreement with a turnaround specialist, a rival video surveillance manufacturer has entered a higher bid. Now, Arecont will be auctioned between those two bidders.
