HTC Inks Distribution Agreement with Synnex

Earlier this week, global designer of smartphones HTC Corporation announced the signing of a new distribution agreement, this time around with one of the largest distribution companies in New Zealand, namely Synnex.

According to the mobile phone maker, the addition of Synnex to its list of global distribution partners should help it expand the reach of its smartphones to New Zealand retailers.

Moreover, HTC's wireless solutions should also enjoy a better presence on the market there, including “credit facilities and account management enabling them to offer improved levels of fulfilment and stock management.”

Anthony Petts, Sales and Marketing Director ANZ, HTC Corporation, commented to the new announcement, stating that Synnex’s experience on the market is expected to further accelerate the availability of HTC handsets on the New Zealand market.

“This strategic alliance with Synnex represents a great enhancement to meet the growing demand for HTC handsets in New Zealand,” he said.

According to Synnex, the new deal with HTC should help it expand its capability in the retail market, while enabling the company to offer unrivalled levels of service, logistics and support to its customers.

“We are very pleased to sign this agreement with HTC today as this marks Synnex’s first move into the distribution of communication devices,” Richard Harri, Country Manager, Synnex New Zealand, stated on the matter.

“We look forward to helping HTC meet the demand for its products in the New Zealand market,” he concluded.

One of the first smartphones to land on the market in the area through this partnership is the HTC HD mini, which was recently announced as being available in Australia.

The HTC HD mini is a smaller version of HD2, while boasting the same appealing features as the high-end device, including the HTC Sense solution loaded on top of Microsoft's Windows Mobile OS, enhanced connectivity options, and others more.
