Ingram Micro closes BrightPoint deal

BrightPoint has indicated come changes may occur as they are integrated with the American electronics company

Ingram Micro has completed its acquisition of BrightPoint, with the aim of creating a leading global provider of device lifecycle services.

The American electronics company paid $9 (£5.60) per share for BrightPoint, which distributes customized logistic services to the wireless industry.

The two companies will continue to operate as usual for the time being, but a statement on BrightPoint’s website says “some changes may occur as we integrate our organisations.”

Ingram said the acquisition supports its “long-term growth strategy to expand the company’s business in high growth markets, while increasing its services and solutions capabilities.”
