ASBIS Expands TOSHIBA Notebook Distribution in Eastern Europe

ASBIS has announced that it has expanded its distribution agreement with Toshiba Europe GmbH to include Ukraine, one of the largest markets in Eastern Europe.

Limassol (Cyprus), May 22, 2007 – ASBISc Enterprises Plc (ASBIS), a leading supplier of computer components to the EMEA emerging markets, has announced today that it has expanded its distribution agreement with Toshiba Europe GmbH, a division of Toshiba Corporation, to include Ukraine, one of the largest markets in Eastern Europe.

This expansion complements the existing authorized distributorship agreement between ASBIS and Toshiba, covering 15 countries of the EMEA region – Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, F.Y.R. Macedonia, Albania, Libya, Yemen and Iraq.

Toshiba Corporation Headquarters“Over the last year, Toshiba has observed increased demand for its mobile products in the growing markets of Eastern Europe, so it makes good business sense for us to enhance our market presence in that region,” said Pieter Ickx, general manager for emerging markets EMEA at Toshiba. “ASBIS has a well-established customer base that opens up new opportunities for Toshiba in these rapidly growing markets, and the addition of Ukraine is a natural progression of our existing relationship in the EMEA region.”

“We consider Ukraine our second most significant market in the CIS after Russia. Over the last years, this market has been growing at a faster pace than the neighbouring countries,” said Igor Snytko, regional general manager, CIS and Baltics, at Toshiba Europe GmbH. “Therefore it is very important for us to work here with loyal and efficient partners who share our objectives and approaches. Over the previous years we have been able to ramp up our sales in this country, and we hope that the agreement with such a serious distributor as ASBIS Ukraine will help further enhance Toshiba’s positions on the Ukrainian market, and contribute to meeting the growing consumer demand for top quality mobile computers.”

Toshiba Qosmio NotebookIn line with the agreement, ASBIS Ukraine, which has wide regional presence across the country, is already beginning an active promotion of the whole range of Toshiba’s mobile PCs, and is about to start offering its partners all certified series of Toshiba notebooks – Satellite, Qosmio, Tecra and Portégé – meeting expectations of both home users and corporate clients.

Laurent Journoud, ASBIS’ executive vice-president, sales and marketing, said, “The expansion of our Toshiba distribution to Ukraine enables us to strengthen our mobile offerings with industry leading notebooks that meet the needs of a wide range of customers. Toshiba’s product mix is excellent and their market strategy is brilliant. ASBIS intends to expand the presence of Toshiba notebooks and help increase its market share on this market. We strongly believe that our expanded cooperation with Toshiba will be extremely beneficial for the vendor, for us, and especially for our customers in Ukraine”.
