SANTA ANA, Calif., July 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading global technology distributor Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) is proud to announce this year's CRN Fast Growth 100 solution providers have recognized the company with two distinctive honors -- Distributor of Choice and Most Important Distributor. The news comes just weeks after the VARBusiness 500 acknowledged the industry leader as The Most Important Distributor for the third year in a row.
"This is great news and on behalf of Ingram Micro's entire North American team, I'd like to thank the CRN Fast Growth 100 for these prestigious accolades and congratulate them on their growing success," said Keith Bradley, president, Ingram Micro North America.
CRN's Fast Growth 100 recognizes the 100 fastest-growing solution providers driving technology solutions into corporate America. This year's prestigious annual list was based on two years' growth of net sales from CY (Calendar Year) 2003 to CY 2005. The results are highlighted in the July 24 issue of CRN magazine. To be eligible for the 2005 CRN Fast Growth 100, companies must be an independent U.S.-based solution provider with net sales of at least $750,000 in CY 2003.
"Ingram Micro's North America VAR sales have grown steadily over the last four years, and this honor truly validates the value and services we bring to our solution provider partners," concludes Bradley.
