ASBIS was awarded the title of ‘The Fastest Growing Distributor of Samsung Semiconductor’s TFT-LCD modules’ in Europe, Middle East and Africa in the year 2003. The award was officially handed over at Samsung’s annual dealers’ conference held in Prague in July 2004.

In the words of Paul Griffin, vice-president of sales and marketing for Asbis, a $500m-plus international IT distributor of Intel, Seagate, Maxtor and Hitachi products, you have to be ‘something of a masochist who suffers amnesia once a quarter’ to be in channel distribution today. Indeed, distribution in almost all industry sectors is tough, and the internet is exacerbating these pressures. Margins continue to slide to almost unsustainable levels. Asbis, however, has managed to buck the trend for the last three years.
