EIZO Corporation (TSE: 6737) today at the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) announced a new exclusive distributor for nine countries in the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region effective January 1, 2014.
The new distributorship will be a partnership between EIZO and its distributor in Oceania, Arcadia Corporation Pty. Ltd., based in Sydney, Australia. Arcadia will establish a new company, Arcadia Certified Imaging Pte Ltd., with headquarters in Singapore, and assume an aggressive marketing and sales strategy to supply EIZO products across some of the fastest growing economies in the world.
Since 2010, EIZO has expanded its global presence to increase worldwide sales by establishing wholly-owned group companies in China and in several countries in Europe.
“This partnership with Arcadia will spur further growth in Southeast Asia and facilitate comprehensive support for our global customers,” said Kazuhide Shimura, managing officer of EIZO.
Arcadia will initially service markets in Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Service for Brunei, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar will follow.
“Arcadia will deliver high-caliber product management and experiential marketing, technical support, logistics control, and customer service to the region through an experienced local team and international network of specialist partners,” said Matthew Bauer, CEO of Arcadia. “In addition to outstanding next-generation products, the new company will be adding significant value with investment in new local warehousing, training and communications strategies, and a local inventory model to improve the overall customer experience.”
