Five short years Formed in 1997, Birch was one of the first companies to be certified in the Midwest to provide competitive local phone service. In February 1998, the company merged with Valu-Line Companies of Emporia, Kan., which had provided long-distance to Kansas customers for 16 years. Since that time, Birch has acquired companies specializing in telephone services, business phone equipment and Internet services to further build its product offerings. Growth Birch has grown to become one of the largest competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs) in the nation with 340,908 telephone lines in service as of December 31, 2001. The company is pleased to serve customers in every county in Kansas, in the largest urban areas in Missouri and Oklahoma, and in more than a dozen metro areas in Texas. Last year, Birch started expanding into the Southeast and now serves customers in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. Employees And at the heart of these accomplishments, Birch employs more than 1,250 people throughout the 10 states it serves. These people live and work in these communities and share the company's commitment to giving customers the best possible service, savings and simplicity. |
