Portland, ME Metro Walls, one of New England’s leading wall and ceiling contractors, acquired Aceto Acoustics, Inc., a Maine-based acoustical company, effective October 2, 2023. The addition of Aceto Acoustics, Inc. allows Metro Walls to continue to expand its portfolio and footprint in the state, while offering their full line of services to new and existing customers throughout the region.

Aceto Acoustics, Inc., originally RJ Aceto Company, was established in 1972 by Ralph Aceto, Sr. offering acoustical services to customers throughout the state. With that customer first mindset, Ralph Aceto, Jr. soon took over the family-owned and operated business and continued to build Aceto Acoustics into what it is today.

Over the past two years, Christina Aceto, daughter of Aceto, Jr., has been serving as president of Aceto Acoustics and continued the success of previous generations which has been in large part due to their commitment to forming long lasting relationships with clients through their dedicated employee base, unwavering commitment to client needs, and extraordinary attention to detail. 

“For over 50 years, Aceto Acoustics has prioritized relationships and delivering the highest level of service possible, and we are confident these values will be upheld as we transition into this next phase of Aceto” said Christina Aceto. “We are delighted to welcome Metro Walls into the Aceto family as they share the same client-first mentality, offer a wealth of market knowledge and experience, and understand the importance of continuing our commitment to quality that Aceto Acoustics, Inc. has provided to customers and vendors throughout the years.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Aceto Acoustics to the Metro Walls team, and we are excited to expand our roots in Maine,” president of Metro Walls, Bryan Hussey said. “This relationship between Metro Walls and Aceto Acoustics will create new opportunities to deliver the highest-quality, full-service offerings to our valued customers. Aceto has an extremely valuable and respectable reputation in the industry, and we are committed to carrying on the legacy that the Aceto family has built over the last 50 years as we enter this next chapter.”

The Aceto Acoustics team will continue to operate under the existing name with the continued exceptional quality, customer service, and dedicated team that Aceto customers have grown to expect. 

The operations of Aceto Acoustics will now be managed by general manager, Jim Medaglia, who is a seasoned ACT professional with over ten years of experience in the industry. Christina Aceto will be assisting with the transaction transition until the end of the year. Operations will be headquartered out of Metro Walls’ existing office at 37 Evergreen Dr.
