Foxconn Expands Distribution by Adding ASBIS

ASBIS, a leading supplier of computer components to the EMEA emerging markets, has signed an Authorized Distributorship Contract with Taiwan-based Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd., one of the world's largest manufacturers of cable assemblies and motherboards and the largest manufacturer of PC connectors and enclosures.

According to the agreement signed at ASBIS’ head office in Cyprus, the company is now authorized to distribute all products bearing the Foxconn brand including motherboards, chassis, and coolers. The agreement covers all territories of ASBIS’ current operation.

Chris Day, General Manager Foxconn Channel, said: “Foxconn specifically targeted ASBIS as a key distribution partner due to their proven track record in computer component sales and their extensive market presence across Europe, Middle East and Africa. This gives both parties an unparalleled platform to build on. We are looking forward to successful co-operation with ASBIS over the coming years.”

The new partnership will promote the distribution and sales of Foxconn products throughout 26 countries with distribution centers located in Holland, the Czech Republic, United Arab Emirates and Finland. ASBIS will enable distributors, resellers and computer users to obtain Foxconn products locally through ASBIS offices. Under the terms of the agreement, Foxconn will provide three years warranty for motherboards and two years warranty for chassis, power supply, coolers, and card readers.

According to Yuri Ulasovich, ASBIS’ VP Product Marketing, “Foxconn products represent the features our customers appreciate most – they are innovative, reliable, and provide highest quality. No wonder that some of the largest OEMs like Intel, Hewlett-Packard and Dell co-operate with Foxconn on a long-term basis. We are positive about this partnership’s huge potential and expect it to yield excellent results.”
