Apple and ALSO-Actebis sign distribution agreement

Apple and ALSO-Actebis have signed a distribution agreement. ALSO-Actebis is expecting thereof a substantial additional growth of turnover and profit. The cooperation in Germany starts now. ALSO-Actebis has already been cooperating with Apple successfully in Finland and Switzerland for a number of years.

Secondly, as from October 2012 (coinciding with the commencement of Apple's fiscal year), ALSO-Actebis dealers will be able to obtain the complete Apple product range (excluding iPhone) from ALSO-Actebis.

"The ALSO-Actebis product portfolio is growing significantly and we are constantly optimizing it - whether with software for the cloud, with customized dealers' offers for Managed Print Services, with solutions, services or now with Apple's product range", Gustavo Möller-Hergt, Managing Director of ALSO Actebis GmbH in Germany and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the ALSO-Actebis Holding AG, comments and continues: "This contract with Apple ensures that we are ideally positioned for future business. Once again, ALSO-Actebis customers will profit from our dominant strength in the market and our sharp focus."

ALSO-Actebis has set up an Apple Business Unit at its Straubing location, where a fast-growing team of employees is dedicated to the Apple business.
