HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Underground Vaults & Storage, Inc., a privately-owned company that began as a secure storage provider in the Hutchinson salt mine, is changing its public name to “UV&S.” The company says the shortened name better positions it to highlight the tremendous growth and diversification of the company over the past 10 years beyond just underground storage.
UV&S now owns a destruction and recycling company, provides IT services and data center solutions for global clients, and has recently branched out into event branding and logistics support for large-scale international festivals and conferences. UV&S has 12 locations, with over 120 employees operating in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The new brand alignment will have the company’s IT division, formerly known as Convergent, cease to use that name. This Wichita-based division was acquired in 2016 and provides IT solutions and operates a data center for worldwide clients. Additionally, Media Servicing, a London-based storage and events business acquired in 2019 will also stop trading under that name.
Going forward, both of these divisions will be offered as part of UV&S. All of the company’s services, offerings and locations will be consolidated and marketed on a retooled website found at www.UVSINC.com.
