Ready to export to untouched market in Asia
For Ibas,
which is a world leader in Data Recovery and Data Erasure itself, this
agreement will involve distribution of all services and products from the
Singapore operations of Relectronic-Remech. Initially, the focus will be on
Data Recovery, but Ibas also hopes to export Data Erasure services and
products very soon. The agreement will come into effect immediately and
represents a milestone in Ibas' history, as up until now, the company has
focused solely on the European market.
Untouched export market
"Although Singapore is on a par with Norway technologically, there is
currently no one who appears to be actively promoting Data Recovery services
to industry and commerce in this metropolis. And there is only one company
in the whole of Asia that we consider to be a competitor of Ibas. Last year
Relectronic-Remech's Singapore division had a turnover of approx. 30 million
NOK. We anticipate a strong growth in demand for our services in the region
and we have great hopes for this agreement," says Arve Saghaug, Managing
Director of Ibas AS.
"A big
international boost"
With more than 600 specialist personnel in over 20 countries,
Relectronic-Remech is an international company renowned for technical
competence and service in Disaster Recovery. Ibas co-operates with
Relectronic-Remech in some European countries and has had only positive
experience of the company as a distributor. "We believe that this alliance
will give Ibas a major international boost this year. Ibas engineers in
Kongsvinger, Norway will continue to solve the cases we receive, as the
agreement involves no plans for the time being to establish separate
laboratories in Asia," Arve Saghaug says.
Link up
with Ibas - increase sales efforts
Relectronic-Remech is extremely satisfied with the agreement entered into
with Ibas. "We constantly receive inquiries from our customers regarding
data recovery, in connection with our work. We believe that Ibas represents
the best in this field and we ,therefore, have decided to dedicate sales
personnel to meeting the demand for data recovery in this region. Experience
and results will show us at what pace we must increase distribution in
Asia", says Bruce Swales, Regional Director - Asia, for Relectronic-Remech.
The company also has branches in Thailand and Hong Kong, and has a clear
objective to establish itself in more locations in Asia in the near
future.
