This synergy will provide partners with transformative solutions that power their business growth.
Ken Bradley, founder and CEO of Prolink, expressed enthusiasm for the acquisition, viewing it as an exciting new chapter for his company and its employees. He acknowledged the value that Prolink has contributed to the Turkish IT market over the past 27 years and expressed confidence that partnering with TD SYNNEX will accelerate their growth and enhance their service offerings. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and requires approval from Turkish regulatory authorities, after which both companies will continue to operate independently until the deal is finalized.
