MPC makes a deal

MPC Computers LLC has acquired the end-user division of Omni Tech Corp. The value of the deal was not disclosed.

The acquisition brings MPC Computers of Nampa, Idaho, a broader customer base and improvement in overall scale, MPC said. With a significant increase in unit volume, MPC can now be more cost competitive with the industry's largest personal computer companies. Omni Tech will retain its dedicated computing division, MPC said.

Like MPC, Omni Tech of Pewaukee, Wis., is a segment-focused personal computer company with a primary focus on state and local government, education and midsize commercial markets. MPC has a similar strategy focusing on the federal government and midmarket business segments.

MPC Computers (formerly Micron PC) has about 1,000 employees and annual sales of $810 million. The company was ranked No. 58 on Washington Technology's Top 100 list this year.
