"We've been building an infrastructure solutions practice for two
years and in multiple countries, primarily through a Greenfield
approach," he says. "This acquisition demonstrates our commitment to
developing this capability in Europe. CCD is the leading distributor of
mid-tier enterprise products in the important UK market, with a
respected 22-year history and long-standing relationships with its
customers.
“Through this acquisition, we have a platform for expansion into new
vendor lines and customer segments, along with a thriving services
business,” continues Spierko. “This is an exciting step in the further
development of our company, providing an opportunity to share new
capabilities with our operations in EMEA."
"The acquisition
positions us as a significant ‘value-added’ distributor, with the
expertise to serve a broad range of customers and vendors in multiple
segments,” says Alain Maquet, president of Ingram Micro EMEA. “In
addition to its distribution of server and storage products, CCD also
offers several software lines that are critical to the needs of
enterprise customers. It is very well known in the marketplace for its
pre- and post-sale technical consulting and also sells HP contractual
services. It is a strong complement to our business in the UK, and we
welcome the talented CCD management team and employees to the Ingram
Micro family."
