Ingram Micro celebrates two milestones this month, its US office turns 30 and the Australia offices turns 10

Ingram Micro entered the Australian market with its acquisition of Electronic Resources and ITG in 1999 and then strengthened its position with the purchase of Tech Pacific in 2004.

According to Ingram, over the last five years the company has continued to build upon these foundations to become Australia's largest distributor of technology products.

Jay Miley, vice president & managing director for Ingram Micro Australia and New Zealand, currently in the US, said a huge number of individuals and companies have contributed to the success of Ingram Micro in Australia.

"The ongoing support of our vendors and resellers has been critical in allowing us to evolve as an organisation. We remain committed to adding value every time we interact with a customer and to further develop profitable growth opportunities for all our partners," Miley said.

Two Californian based ex-teachers launched the distributor in 1979. Back then the company was called Micro D.

Ingram Micro has become the global leader in the distribution of IT products with
representation in over 150 countries, the distie claimed.

Congratulations on a great effort over a long time which we hope to match one day. Computerlinks started 25 years ago in Germany and we have been in Australia for a little over two years so we know how hard it is. We have a little way to go yet but watch this space.
