Lexmark appoints Sahara as a distributor

Johannesburg, 06 Aug 2002

Lexmark International SA today announced that it has appointed Sahara Computers as a distributor for its products, including supplies, for Southern Africa.

"We have changed our distribution strategies for Southern Africa so that they are in line with the policies of our international parent," commented Mark Hiller, MD of Lexmark International SA, "and thus, we are looking to establish relationships with partners that best serve the needs of our customers.

"Sahara has been very successful in the local market, particularly at the consumer end of the spectrum, and is renowned for its high product availability and competitive positioning.
