BRUSSELS and SANTA ANA, Calif., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ingram Micro
Inc. (NYSE: IM), the world's largest distributor of technology products and
supply chain services, announced today that it has signed a definitive
agreement to acquire certain assets of Computacenter Distribution (CCD), one
of the leading wholesalers of servers, storage and related products in the

conditions, is expected to be completed in early November. Terms were not

Greg Spierkel, Ingram Micro's chief executive officer, said the acquisition of
CCD advances the company's enterprise strategy and augments its capabilities
in infrastructure solutions and data-center development.

"We've been building an infrastructure solutions practice for two years and in
multiple countries, primarily through a Greenfield approach," Spierkel said.
"This acquisition demonstrates our commitment to developing this capability in
Europe. CCD is the leading distributor of mid-tier enterprise products in the
important UK market, with a respected 22-year history and long-standing
relationships with its customers. Through this acquisition, we have a
platform for expansion into new vendor lines and customer segments, along with
a thriving services business. This is an exciting step in the further
development of our company, providing an opportunity to share new capabilities
with our operations in EMEA."

Alain Maquet, president of Ingram Micro EMEA, added: "The acquisition
positions us as a significant 'value-added' distributor, with the expertise to
serve a broad range of customers and vendors in multiple segments. In addition
to its distribution of server and storage products, CCD also offers several
software lines that are critical to the needs of enterprise customers. It is
very well known in the marketplace for its pre- and post-sale technical
consulting and also sells HP contractual services. It is a strong complement
to our business in the UK, and we welcome the talented CCD management team and
employees to the Ingram Micro family."

CCD's approximately 40 employees will join the UK operations of Ingram Micro.
CCD's General Manager Jon Bunyard will report to Matt Sanderson, Managing
Director of Ingram Micro UK.

"We're looking forward to joining the Ingram Micro team," said Bunyard.
"Ingram Micro's significant financial strength and market reach provide us
with expansion opportunities that were previously unattainable. I'm confident
that our customers and vendors will soon benefit from an expanded portfolio of
products and services from the combined company."
