The distributor has secured a new facility led by HSBC, drawing on the accounts receivables of Noxs the distributor it bought last year.
Westcon said the liquidity boost will allow it to pursue organic and acquisitive growth. Last year, it acquired Noxs and Crane and entered the Middle East and Turkey.
