Mylex Expands European Distribution Reach; Signs Four New Distributors for Company's High-End Raid Controllers
FREMONT, CALIF. (Sept. 18) BUSINESS WIRE -Sept. 18, 1998--
40 Mylex Distributors Across Europe Provide
Customers Local Service and Support
Mylex Corporation (Nasdaq:MYLX), the world's leading RAID controller
vendor in the non-captive network systems marketplace, today announced
the company has added four new European distributors.
The new distributors build upon Mylex's strategy to expand its network
of European resellers who service the high-end RAID storage requirements of corporate end-users.
The new distributors are Arrow Electronics U.K Ltd. of Harlow, Essex,
U.K., Pantronic of Regensdorf, Switzerland, Arrow France of Rungis,
France, and Insyst Electronics of Sophia, Bulgaria. With the addition
of the new distributors, Mylex now has 40 distributors providing local
sales and support in 24 pan-European countries.
"Mylex's European distribution network has been instrumental in
establishing the company as Europe's preeminent RAID controller vendor," said Ron Macleod, vice president of European sales for Mylex.
"The addition of these new partners will augment Mylex's field sales
capabilities and expand our ability to develop new markets for our
industry-leading RAID solutions. The addition of Pantronic and Insyst
Electronics, for example, mark Mylex's entry into Bulgaria and
Switzerland."
"The four distributors announced today were selected based on their
technical expertise, their local focus, and their sincere dedication to customer satisfaction," said Michael Joyce, Mylex senior worldwide
channel marketing manager. "Unlike U.S. distributors that mainly
service resellers, in Europe, our distributors work directly with the
corporate end-user."
