Bishop McCann acquires ONYX in Kansas

Bishop-McCann, a Kansas-based corporate meetings and events planner, has acquired ONYX, a meetings and events company also based in the US Mid-West state. Financial terms were not disclosed. Founded in 2003, ONYX has meetings and incentives clients in the pharmaceutical, casual dining, travel and leisure, financial and manufacturing industries. Although both companies are headquartered in the Kansas City area, Bishop-McCann has a network of employees and suppliers around the world, with an additional office in Chicago. Bishop-McCann president and CEO, Rob Adams, will continue to lead the company. Adams serves on the Meetings Professional International (MPI) Board of Trustees.“This acquisition allows us to continue providing value for our clients, especially by offering increased incentive travel services,” said Adams. “The workforce is changing, and we are laser focused on retaining the best and the brightest in our industry. We’re thrilled to welcome the ONYX team to Bishop-McCann.” ONYX’s president, DJ Rand added, “Relationships matter in this industry, and we’re excited to enter into this new relationship with Bishop-McCann to continue exceeding client expectations and delivering value.” The deal, effective 1 March, is the second acquisition in two years for Bishop-McCann. In 2020, the company acquired the meetings and events division of Kansas City-based ASE Group, Inc. More information: bishopmccann.com
