Ingram Micro expands further into mobility device lifecycle services through the acquisition of a pair of European services companies, namely UK-based Canai group and Portugal-based Clarity Technology.
The financial details of the acquisitions are not available.
Canai is a provider of technology recycling services and white-label product, while Lisbon-based Clarity specializes in repairs, parts, diagnostics and reverse logistics for laptops, mobile phones, modems and other peripherals.
"The addition of Canai and Clarity Technology's established services capabilities is perfectly aligned with Ingram Micro's strategic commitment to accelerate our presence and growth in higher value services businesses across the globe," the distributor says. "Both companies bring proven intellectual property, further strengthening and complementing our current capabilities to deliver comprehensive life cycle services. While the two businesses are presently small, we expect to leverage these capabilities initially across our existing infrastructure to benefit our current and future partners and customers."
