Acer ties up with Ingram Micro to expand India reach

BANGALORE -- Acer India (Pvt.) Ltd. recently strengthened its distribution network in India by entering into a partnership with Ingram Micro India as its national distributor. Acer India will use Ingram Micro's extensive reseller network to sell the full range of its commercial and consumer PCs, notebooks, servers, LCD monitors and other products across India. The tie up is a step in maintaining Acer's rapid growth in the market and widens the company's reach across the nation.

Acer has shown tremendous growth across all its product categories and market segments in 2003, making it an outstanding year. This has helped to propel its business levels to record heights, exceeding the previous year's achievements within the first half of the current year. In addition, it also built strong inroads into the retail segment, an initiative that has met with unequivocal success.

S. Rajendran, general manager, sales and marketing, Acer India, said: "Acer started its operations with a strong focus on institutional buying. However, our success in the retail segment has encouraged us to expand our reach. We are looking at Ingram to help us in penetrating class B/ C cities, an area where they have historically enjoyed a very strong reach."

Navneet Bindra, Ingram Micro, added: "Acer and Ingram have enjoyed a very strong relationship across many countries around the world. We have had a very fruitful association with Acer in many markets and we definitely hope to replicate the same success story here in India. We are really excited to distribute Acer's top-of-the-line desktops, notebooks, servers and peripheral products and look forward to a healthy business relationship."
