Itec Distribution has been awarded third place in Konica Minolta’s Distributor of the Year 2009 competition covering Asia, Africa, Australia and Central and South America. The award was presented at the international meeting held in Fukuoka, Japan last week.
Konica Minolta distributors from around the world took part in the competition which evaluates participants’ sales performance, technical achievements and overall effectiveness as a distributor. Itec’s impressive placing follows on from one of its Johannesburg based partners, Itec North clinching of the Konica Minolta Business Technologies International Colour Champions League 2008/9 award for the same region.
"This is a gratifying recognition of the consistent effort and energy we have put in as a group over the last few years, as well as the commitment of all our partners,” says Philip Perkins, COO, Itec Group. "The award is a prestigious one and we’d like to thank all our loyal clients for helping us to secure it.”
Perkins says one of the biggest advantages of such an award is that it will give existing and new Itec customers a high degree of comfort and confidence in the company as a preferred partner of choice for their office automation requirements, both now and into the future.
"Ratification at international level proves that we are able to deliver,” adds Perkins. "We have honed the ability to do business in a constructive way and to compete and win on a global platform.”
