According to the company, the dynamic increase in the first half of the year was due to local contracts closed with Lenovo, BenQ, TPVision (for Philips TV sets), ASUS Componente si Retelistica, Synology and Eaton. ABC Data also concluded regional agreements with 3D Pixelio and Navitel.
“ABC Data’s rapid growth can be better justified through the main categories of products. The biggest increase was generated by notebooks, computer desktops, networking, PC parts and gaming,” said Alexandru Gheorghiu, commercial manager at ABC Data Distributie.
Customers were also interested in buying accessories for smartphones and for Apple products and networking.
“These indicators show the Romanian market is becoming more and more mature each and every year. There is an indisputable need for better equipment for high-speed internet connexions, which should incorporate mobile devices,” added Gheorghiu.
In 2015, the turnover of ABC Data’s Romanian subsidiary surged 167% to RON198.1 million (EUR44.6 million), while its net loss shrank to RON0.21 million in 2015, from nearly RON2 million in 2014, according to Romanian Finance Ministry data.
