Ingram Micro

Ingram Micro Holding Corporation is an American distributor of information technology products and services.

Founded as Micro D, Inc in 1979 in California by Geza Czige and Lorraine Meccathe, the company, originally a traditional distributor focused on marketing, selling and shipping vendor products to resellers, is currently specializing on becoming a platform-based business that focuses on its digital experience platform.

[8] In 1996, Ingram Micro became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange, with revenues exceeding $12 billion.

In July 2005, Ingram Micro purchased AVAD, LLC, a wholesale distributor for home automation and A/V gear.

[11][12][13] Ingram Micro built a presence in areas adjacent to its traditional distribution business, including enterprise computing, automatic identification and data capture (AIDC); point-of-sale (POS); managed, professional and warranty maintenance services; mobility; physical security; and consumer electronics.

[23] In February 2016, Ingram Micro agreed to a $6 billion acquisition by Tianjin Tianhai Investment, an HNA Group affiliate, becoming its subsidiary.

The strategic reason for the transaction was to better reach "business opportunities in emerging markets, which have higher growth rates and better profitability."

[30] In June 2021, Sanjib Sahoo was named Executive Vice President and Chief Digital Officer of Ingram Micro.

The app provides real-time transactional benefits, including live order status, tracking, renewals, and subscription billing.
