Huawei and Quantum confirmed as Platinum Sponsors for DISTREE Africa 2015

NAIROBI, PARIS - DISTREE Africa 2015 has confirmed that Huawei and Quantum are Platinum Sponsors of this year’s event, which takes place from June 10th to 12th in Kenya. Gold Sponsors for this year’s DISTREE Africa are distributors Mitsumi and Redington. Silver Sponsors for the annual technology and consumer electronics (CE) retail channel event are Acer and Brother. DISTREE Africa 2015 gives technology and CE brands a unique opportunity to pre-schedule one-on-one meetings with senior executives and buyers from Africa’s most influential retailers and e-tailers.

Farouk Hemraj, Director and Co-Founder at DISTREE Events, said: “Demand for consumer technology products continues to grow rapidly across Africa. Using the highly effective DISTREE event format, our aim is to simplify the task of managing, building or launching channels across Africa for technology and consumer electronics brands.”

Hemraj added: “Huawei and Quantum are two brands that are rapidly expanding their presence and channel reach in African markets. Their desire to work with retailers and e-tailers from across the continent makes them a perfect fit with the delegates base for DISTREE Africa 2015.”

Huawei has established end-to-end capabilities across the carrier networks, enterprise and consumer markets by providing competitive solutions and services, which have been deployed in over 170 countries and regions, serving more than one-third of the world’s population.

Quantum is the only regional OEM tablet and smartphone brand that offers three-year warranty, three-month swap and three-year pick-up and drop service. Through this service, Quantum has created peace of mind for channel partner and their end-users, secure in the knowledge that the products the brand brings to market meet and pass the most stringent tests on product quality.

In total, more than 100 retail and e-tail companies have already committed to sending delegations to DISTREE Africa 2015. All exhibiting vendors are able to research the attending retailers and e-tailers in advance using the DISTREE Africa 2015 web platform. Each vendor has the ability to pre-schedule one-on-one meetings with retailers throughout the event, creating a unique personal agenda suited to their specific business needs in Africa.

Hemraj continuned: “The scale of opportunity in African retail channels for technology and CE products is huge. Our mission is to remove the complexity from channel development in this vibrant market. By bringing together all of the main retailers and e-tailers in one place at one time, we create a cost-effective and efficient platform for brands to accelerate their channel development.”
