Westcoast crosses the Channel
2012-03-22 Belgium : British broadliner Westcoast has acquired for an undisclosed amount its local counterpart Europea Trade for an undisclosed amount. The distributor has gone through difficult years, as its turnover and number of employees went down 33% in the last 3 years. Westcoast plans to keep all employees and activities under a new name, Westcoast-Europea, to enter the Top 3 in the country: an ambitious plan. The company is now managed by Dany Mestdag and Régis Vermeire, former directors of Copaco in Belgium. The French business, managed by Jean-Marc Bodson, should also be kept. The offer should be expanded on the B2B side, especially with Apple products in subdistribution.
