Business Wire
ScanSource Inc., {Nasdaq:SCSC}, a leading value-added distributor
of specialty technology products, has expanded its communications
business internationally with the acquisition of MTV Telecom
Distribution plc, a UK-based distributor of voice and data
solutions. The acquisition of MTV Telecom is a key step in
ScanSource, Inc.�s strategy to become a leading pan-European
distributor of voice and data solutions. MTV Telecom boasts a
strong line of vendor partners, including Avaya, Siemens, Panasonic
and Swyx. What�s more, the distributor announced this week that it
would now be carrying Avaya�s mid-market enterprise solutions. MTV
Telecom was named Avaya�s 2007 SMB EMEA Distributor of the Year.
Like ScanSource Communications, MTV Telecom exclusively serves the
reseller channel and is committed to delivering value along with
its industry-leading products. The distributor offers in-depth
sales and technical training resources to its reseller customers,
ensuring they are successful in delivering total communications
solutions to the end user. �ScanSource has been looking for an
opportunity to expand its communications offering internationally,
and MTV Telecom, with its immense experience and successful
convergence strategy, is a great addition to our United States
communications strategy and our European operations. What�s more,
our Avaya, Polycom, Plantronics and other communications
manufacturers have realized great success in the United States
through our Catalyst Telecom and ScanSource Communications sales
units and will provide valuable incremental opportunities for MTV
Telecom,� said Xavier Cartiaux, managing director, ScanSource
Europe. �Resellers will benefit from the value-added services and
solutions, marketing programs and financial resources ScanSource,
Inc. brings to the UK and European communications industry. The
ScanSource POS and Barcoding sales unit followed this same
strategy, and we are now the largest pan-European distributor of
barcoding and point-of-sale solutions for the reseller community.�
The MTV Telecom management team will remain in place, led by Martin
Hatcher, executive chairman, and Natalie Foers, managing director,
and will report into Cartiaux. Said Hatcher, �ScanSource�s
commitment to its resellers mirrors ours, which is why this
acquisition made so much sense to MTV Telecom. By joining
ScanSource, our resellers will see much opportunity for growth in
the UK and beyond. What�s more, our vendor partners will have
access to a value-added distributor that has proven its commitment
to growing the channel.� For more information about ScanSource
