Arrow Electronics finalises the acquisition of Munich-based value-added distributor Computerlinks, a purchase valued at around €230 million, following approval by European and US anti-trust authorities.

Arrow ComputerLinks“The acquisition of Computerlinks supports our strategy to serve the data center of the future and strengthens our position in this rapidly growing segment,” Arrow CEO Michael J. Long says.

First announced on August 2013, the deal comes as Arrow goes through mostly weak fiscal quarters due to restructuring changes and poor sales. The company hopes the acquisition will improve its bottomline, since 2013 Computerlinks sales are estimated to total €700 million.

Through the sale the combined Arrow-Computerlinks enterprise computing solutions group will be present in 33 countries, and will include an expanded professional services offering with current and new services from both companies.
