Connesso Lands at No. 97 on the 2026 CE Pro 100
CE Pro published the 2026 CE Pro 100 on May 19, and Connesso came in at No. 97. It's the industry's ranked list of the largest custom integration firms in North America, and it's the first number most of our peers look at each spring.
What the list actually is
The CE Pro 100 ranks custom integrators by prior-year performance. Companies submit details about their business, CE Pro evaluates the submissions and verifies what it can, and the hundred that clear the bar get published in order.
This year well over a hundred companies submitted 2025 numbers for a hundred spots. Editor Zachary Comeau described the verification work as the thing that protects the list's value, since integrators use it as a credibility marker with clients, employees, vendors, and partners. Collectively, the companies on the 2026 list account for more than $8 billion in revenue.
A hundred spots. More than a hundred companies asking for one.
Why we care about this one
Plenty of awards can be entered. This one is arithmetic. You submit what you actually did, someone checks it, and you land where you land. There's no category to win and no story to tell that improves the number.
No. 97 is the back of the list, and we'd rather say that plainly than dress it up. It means Connesso is now measured against the largest integration firms in the country, in a year the same article described as increasingly stratified, with a widening gap between the firms at the top and everyone else.
Who earned it
Rankings like this get framed as company achievements. They're really a tally of the projects clients trusted us with. The builders who let us into the plans early, the architects and designers who treated low-voltage as part of the drawing, and the homeowners who called us back for the second phase are the reason there's a number at all.
The crew doing rough-ins in framed houses in January is the other reason.
What it changes
Nothing about how a job runs. The prewire still rides the framer's schedule, the rack still gets labeled, and someone still answers the phone after closing. Read the full announcement at CE Pro.
