Since its founding in 1983 in Houston, Texas, MCA Communications, Inc. (MCA) has sustained a solid track record of completing high-profile projects with a focus on safety, quality, and customer service. This award-winning design-build technology integrator firm specializes in network cabling infrastructure, audiovisual installations, wireless solutions, and security solutions for schools, hospitals, corporate buildings, and industrial facilities, serving a roster of globally-recognized clientele that include MD Anderson, Memorial Hermann Hospital, the University of Houston, Houston ISD, Chevron, and ExxonMobil.
Continuing to Evolve and Contributing to the Region’s Digital Transformation
The firm’s growth in the AV market birthed its expansion, with MCA’s move into a new facility in 2018. This 50,000 sq ft office and warehouse include a state-of-the-art training facility, AV lab, and technology showroom. With the ability to train and develop its own skilled workforce, MCA maintains one of the largest skilled workforces in Texas.
As the State’s growth propels major and lucrative high-profile construction projects around Texas, MCA not only moves right along with the development but ahead, with the announcement of a new Central Texas office. The new office serves as a home base for the technology integrator’s growing Central Texas presence in Round Rock, Texas. The new location, at 3101 Eagles Nest St., Suite 430, is MCA’s first office outside of its Houston headquarters and is home to its growing Central Texas team.
This milestone is a major move for MCA as it expands across Texas and the Nation. “The opportunity for growth in Austin is exciting,” says Ricky Cortez, CEO at MCA. “We are looking forward to being part of the numerous high-profile construction projects that will continue to shape the city of Austin and surrounding areas.” To celebrate its newest location, MCA hosted an Open House last month.
MCA continues to evolve into a full-service technology solutions provider, completing 500 projects a year for clients across the Nation. Adding a Central Texas office is a strategic move that will allow MCA to have a physical presence in a location where it has taken on many projects.
Q&A With MCA Communications, Inc.
What does this Central Texas Office opening mean for MCA long- and short-term? In the short term, the opening of MCA’s Central Texas office has been significant in providing a home base for our team members already working on projects in Central Texas. When looking ahead in the long-term, our Central Texas office plays a vital role in providing a positive experience for our clients and creating the same long-lasting relationships and partnerships in Central Texas that we have in Houston, Texas.
What does this Central Texas office open mean for the Central Texas area and Austin, Texas? The rapid expansion and development of Central Texas, especially in the Round Rock-Austin area, not only bring MCA many new opportunities but also enables us to further strengthen our presence in this region. The greatest benefit of our new location, however, is being able to provide local resources for our clients, delivering better and quicker care while offering more services. We are excited about growing in tandem with the region and contributing to its digital transformation.
Any construction projects that MCA is already a part of in this area that you can mention? MCA has been working in the Central Texas region for some time now and has completed several projects, including those with clients in Higher Education and K-12. For legal reasons we cannot name them, however, MCA is currently working on several projects in the region, including those with a notable multinational technology company, in addition to a new construction 15-story building in the heart of Austin, Texas.
Any special guests in attendance and honors received at the Open House on May 5th that you want to mention? This celebration highlighted local Austin talent and businesses, with entertainment by local Austin musician, Neon Bridges, and food catered by Top Taco food truck. We had many special guests in attendance, including the National Association of Minority Contractors Austin leadership team, as well as representatives from LG, Samsung, CommScope, Corning, Logitech, Tellabs, and Page.
In addition to low voltage and AV solutions and services, MCA has expanded its service offerings to include design-build, consulting, and staffing, as well as managed services and an E-Shop.
