22nd March 2022, Milton Keynes - Ingram Micro has become a Pan European distributor of the vendor Telco Accessories, one of the leading mobile accessories companies which owns brands like Gecko Covers, Xtorm, LINQ byElements and Njorð byElements. The new distribution agreement will extend Telco Accessories’ reach in Europe and will also serve to strengthen Ingram Micro’s smartphone and tablet accessory range.
Wei-Jung Chiang, General Manager of CE & Peripherals at Ingram Micro UK, comments: "We are pleased to welcome Telco Accessories into our product portfolio, with their four exciting and contemporary brands (Gecko Covers, Xtorm, LINQ by Elements and Njorð by Elements) offering a vast range of mobile accesories for a variety of different applications. The vision Telco Accessories have for providing quality products aligns with that of Ingram Micro, and we look forward to watching this relationship flourish."
Wybe van Toorn, Business Development Manager at Telco Accessories: “We took a close look at our European distribution network in early 2021 and subsequently arrived at new insights and needs. This instantly resulted in the desire to enter into a collaboration with Ingram Micro. This was initially done at local level, for example in the UK, the Netherlands and Germany. It then soon became clear to us that we could extend this out to Pan European level. Our new collaboration with Ingram Micro allows us to cover countries and regions where we were not yet (fully) represented, also immediately in all channels. This includes the UK, Spain, Hungary and Italy, all of which represent great potential for our brands. In addition to this geographical expansion, our collaboration also offers a huge boost to create more synergy between our different country teams”.
‘’Partnering with a strong player like Ingram Micro Pan EU is a first step in rolling out our strategic B2B plan to bring our quality solutions to the European enterprise market," says Olivier de Coster, International B2B manager. ‘’Our expertise in Power, Connect & Protect answers the needs of governments, large enterprise, SMB as well as the Education & Healthcare markets.’’
