Toshiba Gulf honoured its distributors at a recently held ceremony in Dubai. Toshiba acknowledged the efforts by presenting an Platinum Business to Business Partner of the Year Award to Bahwan IT and Gold Business to Business Partner of the Year to Arabian Business Machines Co. (ABM).
“The performance of our Middle East distributors has contributed greatly to the market growth of Toshiba within the region. They have played a major role not only in bringing the Toshiba products to consumers but also in ensuring that our brand values quality, trust and reliability are reflected across all products and services that we offer,” said SantoshVarghese, General Manager, Toshiba Gulf.
In 2010, Toshiba, through its Kuwait distributor ABM signed a deal with Kuwait’s Ministry of Finance to deliver notebooks for everyday computing, business and multimedia users. The agreement services for the deal include a three-year warranty, and on-site service for the laptops. All government ministries, departments, public institutions and organizations in Kuwait were given access to the latest Qosmio and Tecra laptop range of Toshiba.
“Acquiring the ‘Joint Purchase Committee Tender for 2010 – 2011’ in Kuwait was a joint effort between ABM and Toshiba. The tender committee understood the quality, and reliability of Toshiba products and recognized the excellent after sales service offered by ABM which overall met the requirements of the tender,” shared Kamal Aboul-Hosn, General Manager, ABM.
In the same year, Toshiba won a tender with Oman’s Information Technology Authority (ITA) for Oman’s National PC Initiative. The deal is the first of its kind in the GCC offering a fully funded programme for Omanis and positions Oman as a leader in technology education and literacy in the Arab world. As part of a competitive pitch, Toshiba was selected as the vendor for the deal due to the brand’s reliability and continuous commitment to technological development in the region. Recipients of the grant received the latest Toshiba Satellite C660 series laptop.
“We are proud of our partnership with Toshiba which extends for more than two decades. We look forward to continue offering our valuable Omani customers the latest in technology, solutions, and quality after sales service,” shared M. K. Janaki Raman, General Manager, Bahwan IT.
