PC Mall makes an acquisition
PC Mall Inc. is growing the government side of its online retailing and catalog business.
The company, No. 62 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide to Retail Web Sites , has acquired the products business of Government Micro Resources Inc., a government reseller of technology products including Sun Microsystems, IBM, Saba and Apple. The business, which was acquired through PC Mall Gov, a wholly owned subsidiary, for $3.25 million in cash, includes all product business assets and contracts. Through the first eight months of 2006, Government Micro has $43 million in sales.
"We are excited about our acquisition of GMRI`s products business because the acquisition expands our footprint in the government marketplace and further enhances the breadth of products we sell to include Sun," says Alan Bechara, president of PC Mall Gov. "The acquisition complements PC Mall Gov`s existing business and should provide us with the opportunity to leverage PC Mall Gov`s strengths across GMRI`s experienced sales organization.”
Parent company PC Mall sells more than 100,000 products online through several web sites, including PCMall.com, MacMall.com, PCMallGov.com and Onsale.com.
