Audio-visual distributor Midwich has acquired Nimans and its subsidiaries from Nycomm Holdings Limited.
Founded in 1981, UK-based Midwich distributes telephony hardware as well as solutions such as unified communications, VOIP, security and networking, and partners with vendors like Yealink, Jabra and BT.
The distributor generated consolidated revenues of £114.3m in 2020, its most recent audited year. It claims to trade with over 2,500 telephony, IT and retail customers and employs over 200 staff.
“Nimans is a long-established business with a great reputation for technical excellence, customer service and logistics competence,” said Stephen Fenby, managing director at Midwich Group. “I believe that the combined skill sets and capabilities of Midwich and Nimans bring a unique offering into the market in terms of providing complex solutions involving multiple technologies.”
Completion is subject only to FCA approval and is expected in the first half of 2022, the distributor said.
“I know that partnering with Midwich was a big decision for the owners of Nimans, and we are delighted that they chose us to continue the legacy of the company’s founder, Julian Niman,” Fenby continued. “We have known the Nimans team for many years, and I believe there is a great cultural fit between the two businesses.”
Richard Carter, Nimans sales director, added: “When we met with Midwich, the cultural fit was evident from the outset and the product fit is fantastic. Combining our efforts gives us a unique positioning in the UK with our ability to offer the exciting combination of UC, AV and security.”
The deal comes after Midwich entered into a strategic partnership with device vendor Neat to bolster its unified communications and collaboration offering in August last year.
