Eatontown-based Wayside Technology Group, Inc. on Wednesday said it agreed to acquire Interwork Technologies, a technology distribution company, which will be integrated into Wayside’s Lifeboat Distribution business. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2020, subject to customary closing conditions.
Interwork is a Toronto based value-added specialty distributor focused on cybersecurity, information management and network solutions in both Canada and the U.S. Interwork brings scale to Wayside with more than 20 new vendor partners, a network of approximately 2,500 value-added resellers (VARs) and an incremental increase in annual gross billings of approximately 10 percent.
Interwork President Joe Graci will now lead Lifeboat’s Canadian business with plans to integrate both companies’ Canadian operations, which Wayside anticipates will bring various cost synergies through the consolidation of sales, general and administrative expenses.
