Acer Africa is committed to the IT retail channel in SA and will continue working closely with this sector.
So says Acer Africa chief executive Peter Ibbotson in response to a decision by Acer America to withdraw the distribution of its Family PCs from the retail channel and to focus more resources on the commercial market.
"Acer Africa operates out of Singapore as a subsidiary of Acer Computer International (ACI), one of the many companies within the multinational Acer Group. Indeed, ACI - and Acer Africa - operate totally independently of Acer America," he explains.
Acer - through ACI - is a major player in the fastest growing IT markets of Asia, Africa and Australia.
"Acer Africa has significant investment in SA and a close relationship with the retail channel. Last year, for example, one of the large IT retail groups rated Acer mobile PCs as its best-selling notebook range.
"We`re confident that our relationship with the reseller and retail channels will flourish as Acer Africa continues to increase its market share across our entire range of products," Ibbotson concludes.
