Datamax-O'Neil Adds Avnet Technology Solutions As New Distribution Partner In North America
Datamax-O'Neil is expanding its North American distribution network with the addition of Avnet Technology Solutions, a value-added distributor of enterprise computing products, software and services. This agreement enables Avnet to offer Datamax- O'Neil's complete line of mobile and stationary printers to their value-added reseller customers.
The agreement builds on the success of Datamax-O'Neil's existing Pan-European distribution agreement with Avnet, which began on May 30, 2008. As a new distributor, Avnet will play an important role in increasing Datamax-O'Neil's North American market penetration by leveraging their customer base, which focuses on the requirements of the growing mobile workforce.
"Avnet provides Datamax-O'Neil with an opportunity not only to align our North American distribution network to more efficiently support our existing resellers, but to incrementally grow it as well," said Mike Allocco, regional general manager for Datamax-O'Neil. "They have customers that will benefit with the addition of our products to their portfolio. Their focus on mobility solutions is an ideal match for our expansive mobile printer line."
Gavin Miller, general manager & vice president of Avnet Technology Solutions, said, "Avnet now offers a comprehensive range of desktop and mobile printers that enables us to expand the breadth of our wireless and mobility solutions to resellers and solutions providers. With Datamax-O'Neil, we can provide a printer for every application, including fixed or portable barcode label printing, receipt printing and RFID, further strengthening Avnet Technology Solutions' position as one of the leading full service and solutions distributors."
