S.Africa's Datatec buys stake in India's Inflow

South African IT company Datatec Ltd said it has acquired a 50.01 percent stake in Inflow Technologies Private Ltd, an Indian

information and communications technology (ICT) distribution business, for an undisclosed amount.

The company said on Thursday the remaining stake in Inflow Technologies Private Ltd will be held by management and existing shareholders.

Inflow is a value-added distributor focusing on technology enablement and distribution of security, storage and networking products, and services. It has alliances with 22 global technology vendors.

'Our investment in Inflow is another important step in our international strategy to increase our exposure to the world's major emerging markets which has recently seen our presence grow in markets such as Africa, the Middle East, Turkey and Brazil,' Datatec Chief Executive Jens Montanana said in a statement.

In the year to end-March, Inflow reported revenue of $32 million and has more than 130 employees.

'India is a very large and fast growing market offering strong prospects in our sector, with a lower cost of entry compared to many other developing markets and

potentially higher returns and greater organic investment opportunities,' said Montanana.
