WestCom Corp., the world&#s largest provider of trader voice solutions, today announced it has acquired KGM Circuit Solutions, another leading provider of trader voice services to the financial markets. KGM&#s customers are now members of the largest global trader voice community, connecting thousands of financial institutions in thirty countries. As members of the WestCom community, KGM&#s customers will now benefit from rapid access to new trading partners, with unmatched network diversity and resiliency.

With this acquisition, we accelerate the continued growth of our community, while affording our new members nearly immediate access to tens of thousands of traders connected over our global financial extranet said Alexander Russo, CEO of WestCom. We welcome KGM&#s customers and the KGM Circuit Solutions team, who will join WestCom in providing the most responsive level of service in the industry.

Like WestCom, KGM has grown its business by providing outstanding service to the most demanding customers in the world, said Forrest Gurl, CEO of KGM Circuit Solutions. WestCom is clearly the leader in providing trader voice services with the largest, most secure, highest quality network in the industry, and our combination brings increasing benefits to all traders now connected to this expanding community.
