Kerridge Commercial Systems (KCS) has acquired Mincron Software Systems.

KCS has more than 800 distributive trade customers worldwide, focusing on wholesalers/distributors/retailers and merchants in the construction, industrial and other sectors.

In parallel, Mincron has a 30-year history of delivering ERP solutions to a similar customer profile i.e. businesses that need to "Source Effectively, Stock Efficiently, Sell Profitably and Service Competitively." The acquisition of Mincron by KCS follows the acquisition and integration of Cary, North Carolina-based Dancik International in July 2015.

Mincron will continue to focus on product innovation, including maintaining and supporting the existing Smart Distributor product suite while providing customers access to other products and services from the KCS portfolio.

Ian Bendelow, CEO of KCS Group, commented, “This is another key strategic acquisition for us and our second in North America in as many years. It strengthens our geographical presence in the North American market and provides a further platform for growth in this important region. Mincron aligns with our successful business strategy of focusing on trading and business management solutions for the distributive trades, including wholesalers, distributors, retailers, merchants and resellers. Our customers will benefit from this acquisition through greater strength and depth in our North American team to support our functionally rich solutions to meet their business goals and challenges.”

Wendy Berger, general manager of Mincron, stated, “The acquisition by KCS brings together two great companies with similar history, culture and customer profile. The combined resources will further strengthen the KCS brand in North America, and I look forward to being part of the Group and leading the Mincron team into a new era of opportunity.”
