Klyuchnikov<\/A> will
lead the company\u2019s sales strategies, develop relationships with distributors,
resellers and OEM customers and drive further penetration for
Hitachi\u2019s hard disk
drive products into the Russian desktop PC and enterprise segments. The
company\u2019s presence in Russia grew
consistently quarter over quarter since 2005 in each of the segments, and with a
new focused commitment, Hitachi seeks to
continue this trend.<\/P>
Hitachi will be
embarking on a seven-city customer road show in September and October to engage
with and educate regional customers on products and applications for hard disk
drives. The road show will travel to Moscow,
St.
Petersburg,
Novgorod,
Novosibirsk, Samara,
Krasnodar and
Ekaterinburg. <\/P>
In addition,
Hitachi will step up
efforts in branding, promotional and customer support activities in order to
develop stronger ties with current and potential customers. Key initiatives
include advertising in Russia-based channel and computing publications,
Russian-language customer support and communications and an aggressive product
reviews program with key media. <\/P>
\u201cThe total
available market in Russia for
hard disk drives is quickly approaching or exceeding that of other major
countries in the EMEA region. It\u2019s an exciting time to be expanding our presence
and adding resources in a country whose IT sector is burgeoning as Russia\u2019s is,\u201d
said Nicolas Frapard, EMEA channel manager, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies.
\u201cWith the leadership of Andrey and Ilya, our sales distribution infrastructure
and our broad product portfolio, we look to achieve our goals and extend our
leadership in the market.\u201d<\/P>
\u201cHitachi has become a
very strategic partner for ASBIS over the past year, which has helped to
increase our business at a very aggressive rate,\u201d commented Laurent
Journoud, executive vice president, sales and marketing for ASBIS.<\/EM> \u201cWe are
looking forward to the additional presence and customer support activities that
will help drive new business opportunities. With these efforts and
Hitachi\u2019s
market-leading technology, we are confident of our continued successful
relationship with Hitachi and further
growth for both our businesses within
Russia.\u201d<\/STRONG><\/P>
\u201cWe have been
operating in the Russian market for 11 years and added
Hitachi hard drives to
our portfolio in 2005. As a result of the relationship, and the dedicated and
professional Hitachi team, we have
increased our business and market share significantly,\u201d says Jens Hartmann,
chief executive officer of the pan-European ELKO Group. \u201cWith
Hitachi\u2019s additional
resources in Russia, we
are very confident we will assist in their aggressive growth
plans.\u201d<\/P>
