Global technology distributor Tech Data, has today officially merged with Synnex.

The new business now boasts over 150,000 technology customers globally, with partnerships in place with over 1,500 technology vendors.

But what’s more interesting is that the merger and subsequent creation of “TD Synnex”, knocks Ingram Micro from the top spot as the largest IT distributor, a position it has held for 30 or more years.

Rich Hulme, TD Synnex CEO says:

“TD Synnex is uniquely positioned in today’s relentlessly transforming technology ecosystem … as a versatile distributor and solutions aggregator for the IT ecosystem, we’re strengthening our entire portfolio of solutions and raising the bar on the value we deliver to customers and vendors with exceptional reach, efficiency and expertise. It’s an honor to lead TD Synnex with a talented team of 22,000 co-workers worldwide.”

What lies in store for the future of technology distribution is uncertain, but all eyes will be on TD Synnex, with its much greater size and reach.
