Midco Acquires SCI Broadband to Boost Fiber Expansion in Minnesota

Midco has announced the finalization of its acquisition of Savage Communications Inc. (SCI) Broadband, marking a significant milestone in the company’s mission to expand its fiber network across Minnesota. The deal, completed on November 19, 2025, integrates SCI Broadband’s established network and team into the Midco family, enabling the company to grow its regional footprint and serve more customers with high-performance connectivity solutions.

Strengthening Connectivity Across Minnesota

With this acquisition, Midco enhances its service capabilities in central Minnesota, particularly by incorporating the robust network established by SCI Broadband. SCI, founded in 1984 by Ron Savage, has built a solid foundation by serving nearly 12,000 data customers. By the end of the year, its network will expand to cover nearly 28,000 passings, significantly broadening its impact in the region. This strategic move places Midco in a stronger position to meet the increasing demand for high-speed and reliable internet services, particularly as businesses and households continue to prioritize digital transformation.

A Seamless Transition for Customers and Employees

Midco’s leadership has emphasized a customer-first approach during this acquisition. Chair and CEO Pat McAdaragh expressed excitement about welcoming SCI Broadband customers and employees into the Midco family. He stated, “Our Midco Customer Commitment extends to each of you, and we look forward to continuing the best-in-class experience the SCI team has provided.” All SCI employees received job offers from Midco, ensuring continuity in operations and service quality. Additionally, SCI founder Ron Savage highlighted the seamless transition and praised the collaboration between the two companies, stating, “I’m grateful for the smooth transition and warm welcome our team has received from Midco.”

Driving Fiber Network Growth Across the Region

The acquisition aligns closely with Midco’s broader strategy to invest in fiber-optic technology and enhance network infrastructure throughout Minnesota. Midco’s focus on innovation has already set it apart as a leader in connectivity solutions, and this latest move reflects its commitment to bridging digital gaps and extending high-speed internet access to underserved areas. By leveraging SCI Broadband’s established infrastructure, Midco is well-positioned to deliver cutting-edge connectivity that supports both residential and business customers across the region.

This acquisition also underscores the growing importance of fiber networks in the modern telecommunications landscape, where scalability, speed, and reliability are critical for meeting customer demands. As digital needs evolve, Midco’s expanded network will serve as a vital component of Minnesota’s connectivity ecosystem, enabling smarter cities, more agile businesses, and better-connected communities. The integration of SCI Broadband represents not just an expansion of reach but also a step forward in championing technological innovation in the fiber and telecommunications sectors.
