March 23 2010 - 11:00AM
Bell Microproducts Inc. (Nasdaq:BELM), one of the world's largest
value-added distributors of storage and computing technology, today
announced that its Latin American division has signed a
distribution agreement with Dell Inc. Under the terms of the
agreement, Bell Micro will distribute Dell laptops and netbooks to
retailers and SMBs throughout Latin America.
Bell Micro Latin America's vice president of sales and
marketing, Yali Luna, notes that the inclusion of Dell in the
product portfolio is part of Bell Micro's strategy to bring on
additional high profile brands that can help to diversify the Latin
America division's portfolio – particularly in the area of
mobility. "Mobility is one of the key areas where the market
is growing in Latin America," said Luna. "We are committed to
our customers in this region, and want to ensure that our linecard
contains all of the key brands that they expect as they move
towards mobile technology."
Dell products will be shipped from Bell Micro's Miami warehouse
to Latin America. In the future, shipments are expected go
directly from Dell's manufacturing facilities in China to Bell
Micro's facilities in Chile and Brazil.
"The Dell name is synonymous with quality, and it is a brand
with which consumers in Latin America are very familiar," continued
Luna. "We expect that offering Dell products to our resellers
will open up many opportunities for Bell Micro in Latin
America."
Focused on serving a diverse set of customers including OEMs,
VARs, the retail channel, and systems builders, Bell Microproducts
Latin America has become a major supplier of storage and computer
products in the Latin American market. Additionally, as the
leading computer hardware distributor to Latin America, Bell Micro
ships more than 40 percent of the region's hard disk drive
