Logicalis doubles German operations

Integrator acquires German Cisco Silver partner Minters

Cook: Minters strengthens our position as a strategic partner for Cisco in Germany

VAR Logicalis has doubled the size of its German operation by acquiring Cisco Silver partner Minters.

The expanded Logicalis German operation will become a mid-market focused ICT integrator.

Minters will be integrated into the firm’s existing German operations. With headquarters in Cologne, Logicalis claims it will have a strong presence in both the North Rhein Westphalia and Berlin markets.

Ian Cook, chief executive of Logicalis Group, said: “It is important that we build scale in Germany to become a significant player in that market and to complement our substantial businesses in the US, UK and South America.

“The acquisition of Minters, with its excellent reputation for technical skills with Cisco and its customers plus an increasing annuity (recurring) revenue base, significantly increases our scale and strengthens our position as a strategic partner for Cisco in Germany. We see considerable opportunity for Logicalis to provide IT and communication solutions to the German mid-market.”
