New York, New York — Align, the premier global provider of technology infrastructure solutions and Managed IT Services, has been named a 2026 Triple Crown Award winner by CRN, a brand of The Channel Company. This marks the fifth consecutive year Align has received the recognition, which honors solution providers that earn a place on all three of CRN’s leading industry lists in the same year.
The CRN Triple Crown Award recognizes companies featured on the Solution Provider 500, which ranks North America’s largest IT solution providers by revenue; the Fast Growth 150, which recognizes the fastest-growing solution providers; and the Tech Elite 250, which highlights companies that have achieved top-tier certifications and partner status with leading technology vendors.
Specifically, in 2026, Align ranked No. 122 on the Solution Provider 500 and No. 14 on the Fast Growth 150. Earning a place on all three lists in the same year reflects Align's continued investment in its people, technical capabilities, and service offerings. Align Managed Services has deep expertise in the alternative investment industry. The team partners closely with clients to understand their businesses, anticipate their needs, and provide the technology expertise and support required to keep their environments secure and running. This partnership approach allows Align to serve as an extension of its clients’ teams, helping them navigate technology decisions as their businesses evolve.
“This recognition belongs to our team,” said Chris Zadrima, Chief Operating Officer of Align. “Every day, our engineers, security specialists, and service teams solve complex challenges for firms that can’t afford downtime or risk. Earning the Triple Crown for a fifth straight year reflects that consistent execution and culture of accountability, and the difference they make for the clients we serve.”
This year’s Triple Crown Award winners will be featured in the October 2026 issue of CRN and online at www.crn.com/triplecrown.
