Horizon Technology Group plc, a leading technical integrator and distributor of

has entered into a new partnership with Acer, the volume leader in the Europe,
Middle East and Africa notebook market. Under the terms of this partnership,
Horizon will provide distribution and channel services to Acer in Ireland.

distribution division and will enable it to increase capacity utilisation and
operating efficiencies", said Gary Coburn, chief executive officer of Horizon.
"The development is consistent with Horizon's objective to deliver shareholder
value through investment in selective areas of growth and to focus on the
provision of cost effective outsourcing services to major international IT
vendors."
