Tech Data Corp has now completed the sale of its majority interest in Munich-based Macrotron AG to Santa Ana, California-based distributor Ingram Micro Inc, for around $100m in cash. The deal was announced back in June (CI No 3,429). Macrotron president and CEO Michael Kaack will continue to head the operation, which is to be known as Ingram Macrotron. Macrotron is Germany’s fourth largest PC distributor. Tech Data is in the process of acquiring Computer 2000 AG, Europe’s largest PC product distributor, while Miami, Florida-based distribution firm CHS Electronics Inc agreed to acquire one of Europe’s last remaining PC makers, Vobis Microcomputer AG of Germany, earlier this month (CI No 3,447).
