The ICC Group was founded in 1998 and provides data center maintenance and additional managed services.
Service Express, which was founded in 1993, is a portfolio company of private equity firm Harvest Partners. The acquisition of ICC expands its hardware distribution network, multivendor experience, and adds ICC’s employees to its own headcount.
This transaction follows the acquisition of Blue Chip earlier this year. The two deals bolster Service Express’ UK service offerings, according to the company.
