Intec - Chiltern Capital

The Business

Intec is a well-established and growing distributor of IT hardware, software and value-added services, based in the Midlands. The business serves over 1,300 customers comprising online and offline resellers, managed services providers and systems integrators across various end-markets in the UK and Europe.

The Deal

Chiltern acquired Intec from its founder as part of his retirement plans, having built the business up successfully over the previous 20 years. Chiltern backed a combination of incumbent and new management personnel to take the business through its new phase of growth.

The Plan

Intec has built an established position across a well-balanced range of vendor relationships, as well as numerous repeating customers. Chiltern’s investment will enable Intec to invest in strategic sales and marketing initiatives, and further build its value-added services offering and portfolio of software products.
