ScanSource inducted to distribution body

Point of sale distributor one of two new recruits for the Global Technology Distribution Council

The Global Technology Distribution Council (GTDC) has continued to swell its ranks with the recruitment of ScanSource and D &H.

The GTDC, which already counted the likes of Ingram Micro, Tech Data and Westcoast among its members, represents more than $100bn (£54bn) in annual sales.

The double swoop will extend the council’s presence in Europe: Scansource boasts presence on both sides of the Atlantic and recently bought UK telecoms distributor MTV Telecom.

D&H is one of North America’s largest wholesalers.

The GTDC recently revealed it is looking to recruit more European outfits. The organisation held its first ever European Investor Relations Conference in Chelsea Harbour in June.
ScanSource and D&H were officially unveiled at GTDC’s recent Rising Star Awards ceremony, which discussed current market trends and how to continue strengthening supply-chain efficiency, channel reach and profitability.
