Orbis Partners has advised leading IT hardware, software and services distributor, Intec Microsystems, on its sale to private equity investor Chiltern Capital and its management team.

Founded in 2003, the company offers a comprehensive range of products, including laptops, desktops, servers, storage, networking and tech accessories from leading global manufacturers and challenger brands, serving customers across the UK and Europe.

Intec has been a key player in the market for almost 20 years, and now trades with over 2,500 customers including many of the top VARs in the UK.

Orbis worked with the management team and shareholders to prepare the business for exit and project manage the transaction through to completion. The deal was led by Partner Tom McCarthy and Associate Director Nick Wall with support from Executive Adam Grenfell.

Orbis led an international sales process which generated offers from overseas IT businesses and UK-based private equity. Throughout the process it became clear that the backing of Chiltern Capital was the best option for the shareholders and the business.

Chiltern Capital LLP is an active private equity investor in the UK lower mid-market focusing its proven organic and inorganic growth strategy across Business Services, Industrials and TMT sectors. With the investment from Chiltern, Intec will look to deliver additional growth by working in close collaboration with key vendors and expanding the company’s product and service offerings.

Having founded Intec 20 years ago and seen it deliver fantastic growth over that period, now is the time to pass on the baton. I know that I’m leaving Intec in great hands and with people who will take the company to the next level.

Dean Leather, Founder
