Detroit, Michigan, USA – December 8, 2017 – Qualfon, a leading business process outsourcing (BPO) and contact center service provider, announced today that it has acquired Dialog Direct, a BPO company that provides lead generation, sales, and customer support services to more than 100 clients in the automotive, retail, financial services, healthcare, and consumer packaged goods industries. Dialog Direct has more than 3,500 employees with ten locations in the United States and one location in Costa Rica. It also has an @home operation across the United States. With this sizable acquisition, Qualfon now has approximately 16,500 employees in 28 locations; 20 in the United States, 3 in the Philippines, 3 in Guyana, 1 in Mexico, and 1 in Costa Rica.

• Qualfon will keep Dialog Direct intact as it becomes one of Qualfon’s operating business units, providing stability growth for its clients and employees.
• Dialog Direct brings to Qualfon and its clients an end-to-end marketing solution that engages customers throughout their entire lifecycle by combining channels for data analytics, digital and direct mail, contact center services, mailroom, print, fulfillment, and eStore.
• Qualfon’s global footprint now offers Dialog Direct clients the option for offshore locations, while expanding its current onshore and near-shore delivery capabilities.

Qualfon CEO Mike Marrow said, “This is truly a transformational event. Dialog Direct is a company nearly the size of Qualfon and is highly complementary to what we do today. Most exciting of all, this acquisition positions Qualfon for continued growth and provides a bigger opportunity to make a positive impact on many more clients and Qualfon family members, as we strive to achieve our mission to be the best BPO and make people’s lives better.”
