LIBERTY AV SOLUTIONS ACQUIRES INTELIX, LLC
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, June 7, 2011

Liberty AV Solutions, a division of WESCO Distribution, Inc. acquired Middleton, Wisconsin based Intelix, a manufacturer of AV components and software. The move follows a successful conclusion to negotiations between Intelix and WESCO Distribution, Inc.—Liberty’s parent company—to
