Legend Corporation signs on as AMD distributor in Sub Saharan Africa
Announcement posted by Legend Performance Technology 06 Oct 2005
Legend Corporation has today announced that AMD will extend Legend's distribution rights to include Sub Saharan Africa. This announcement builds on an already strong relationship between the companies with Legend acknowledged as AMD's largest distributor in Australia and New Zealand.
Legend Corporation has maintained a presence in Africa for the last five years. This was stepped up when Legend bought out its joint venture in March this year to enter the market in its own right.
Legend will offer AMD processors alongside its manufactured memory modules & digital media as well as the Legend Digital range of consumer electronics to its client base of system integrators, resellers, retailers and value added resellers.
"We see the addition of AMD distribution in Africa as a great value add to our client base who have previously been disadvantaged by low stock levels and high prices for AMD products in this region," said Rob Kester Sales Director for Legend.
Previously Legend was a sub distributor for AMD in Africa and this move coincides with an increased AMD headcount in the region. The direct relationship came into effect on October 1st.
