Xerox acquires Irish Business Systems

By acquiring Irish Business Systems, Xerox will increase its sales force and gain access to more than 11,000 new customers in Ireland, the company says. Over the last two years, Xerox has expanded its distribution to the SMB market and managed print services delivery capability through acquisitions and broadened relationships with resellers and concessionaires in Europe.

IBS will sell the full range of Xerox office and light production products and supplies, including all Phaser, WorkCentre and the ColorQube 9200 Series of multifunction printers that print, copy, fax and scan.

"With this acquisition, Xerox will increase its presence in all parts of Ireland," said Douraid Zaghouani, senior vice president, European Channels Group, Xerox Europe. "IBS is a strong office technology and managed print services provider in Ireland. Their extensive distribution and customer support complement the benefits of Xerox’s technology and solutions."
