Westcoast has completed its merger with XMA following the initial acquisition last November.

The combined business, trading as Westcoast, will ‘significantly expand’ Westcoast Group’s product and service offering, the firm claimed.

Tim Beech, managing director for supplies at Westcoast, said: “It is essential to look to the future and make decisions that will support the growth and development plans of the business. The acquisition will give the company greater scale in order to compete in what are rapidly consolidating distribution and reseller markets.”

"The two companies have a very good business and cultural fit and there are a lot of synergies for both customers and suppliers, as both share a customer driven ethos."
