Computacenter has acquired a US company — Business IT Source (BITS).
The UK reseller says BITS is one of the “fastest-growing” value-added resellers in the US, with the company employing around 100 people and reporting revenues of $245 million in 2021.
It said the existing BITS leadership team will stay to run the business as a separate operating unit within Computacenter United States to “maximise the growth opportunity”.
The business and the team will be fully integrated into Computacenter’s North American operation over time.
Computacenter Group CEO Mike Norris said his outfits US business continues to grow organically but it will take additional opportunities to improve its positioning. BITS gives it a much stronger presence in the Midwest of the United States and brings some great people, customers and leadership to the business.
“The Buffalo Grove Integration Centre will allow us to serve more of our Midwest regional customers locally over time, helping us to meet our sustainability goals. I am confident that the BITS leadership will seize the opportunity to continue their current growth momentum.”
Bob Frauenheim, CEO & co-founder of BITS, added that the company is “excited” to join Computacenter.
He said: “This gives us the opportunity to provide a much broader range of capabilities to our customers and growth opportunities for our people. Operating as a separate business unit will allow us to continue our personalized service while leveraging Computacenter’s capabilities to best serve customers and associates.”
