ASBIS Informs Customers of Unprecedented Warranty Extension by SEAGATE

ASBIS, a leading supplier of computer components to the EMEA region’s emerging markets, is glad to inform its customers of the unprecedented decision by one of its largest vendors Seagate to extend the warranty period for its products to 5 years.

According to Merlene Fernandez, Global Channel Sales Programs at Seagate, “5-year warranty covers internal drives shipped through Distribution and Retail channels throughout the world, including drives for PCs, notebook computers, entry-level servers, and enterprise applications”.

This best-in-class warranty is effective immediately and is retroactive to Seagate drives shipped from ASBIS since July 1, 2004.

According to Laurent Journoud, ASBIS’ Product Marketing Director, “this is excellent news for all customers of our company that has recently been awarded the title of the Most Successful Seagate Distributor in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union. Taking into account that the warranty period for this kind of products normally ranges from 1 to 3 years, Seagate has made an unprecedented step towards meeting consumer expectations, having confirmed its leading market position and demonstrating unparalleled confidence in its technology”.

More details about changes to ASBIS warranty policy on Seagate products will be communicated to customers later on.
