Westcon-Comstor completes Sale of its Americas Businesses to SYNNEX

Westcon-Comstor says that its parent company, Datatec Limited, has completed the sale of its North America and Latin America distribution business (“Americas”), as well as a minority share in its Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) business, to SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE:SNX), a Fremont, California-based company.

Westcon-Comstor Americas, a SYNNEX company, will continue to rely on the expertise and experience of the current Westcon-Comstor Americas team to grow the business. Meanwhile, Datatec retains majority shareholder interest in the new Westcon-Comstor International business to serve EMEA and APAC.

The successful completion of this transaction allows us to continue developing best-in-class programs that accelerate business outcomes for all our partners and better align our resources toward creating new opportunities for growth in the regions we serve together with SYNNEX — Jens Montanana, CEO of Datatec and Westcon-Comstor International
