Midwich Group, a specialist audio visual distributor to the trade market with operations across the UK and Ireland, Continental Europe and Asia Pacific, completed the acquisition of Starin Marketing, a specialist value-add AV distributor in the US, for $46m. "The acquisition of Starin Marketing is a significant day in Midwich Group's history, marking our entry into North America, the largest AV market in the world. Starin's exposure to, and relationships in, the growing unified communications segment will be greatly beneficial to Midwich as it seeks to increase revenues in this fast growing AV sub sector across its global network. The highly experienced management team has built a great business and I look forward to welcoming them and the wider team into the Midwich Group," Stephen Fenby, Midwich Group Managing Director.
