Westcoast has created some legroom for growth by merging with German counterpart KOMSA.
The Reading-based distributor said the move would hand it access to the German market and boost its prowess in the unified comms market.
Westcoast will take over the shares from KOMSA’s founders and KOMSA chairperson Kerstin Grosse said that it was “the biggest step in the company’s history”.
The merger creates an outfit with revenues of more than €5.5 billion, 2,200 employees and brings together more than 400 technology partners with 30,000 retail partners.
