And most important: we had to build a strongly motivated team with similar values and vision for the future of the company.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The years that followed were years of enthusiasm and inspiration. ASBIS Bulgaria positioned itself as a good and trusted distributor, constantly increasing its portfolio and customer base. To escape from the direct competition, CANYON and PRESTIGIO were introduced&nbsp;and developed very successfully as ASBIS Group own brands. And new own brands continue to&nbsp;enrich our portfolio. At the same time strong brands like DELL, Microsoft, INTEL, AMD, Kingston, WD and others remain the base of our volume business.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Through the years there were many failures and more success stories,&nbsp;paving&nbsp;the way of the company to nowadays. And ASBIS is still here and stronger than before!
