A new platform for Despec
2009-12-10
Supply specialist Despec has launched its new online platform, dedicated to its European resellers. This website centralizes several new tools, like a "Supplies Selector" and a "Media Selector", an online tool to label backup medias or even a "Document Library" for marketing needs (datasheets, digital booklets, a list of best selling products, etc.) Some of these tools may be added to reseller's website upon demand. This new website may be reached through Despec offices in Belgium, France, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.

Despec gets exclusive with HP

Supplies specialist Despec has inked an exclusive distribution partnership with Despec around its lines of calculators and stand-alone faxes, through its offices in Belgium, France and Netherlands.Therefore, any other distributor wishing to distribute these products will have to buy them through Despec, which works on extending this partnership to other countries.
Despec enters France
2008-11-03
2007 was a restructuration year for Dutch supplies specialist Despec as it was purchased by Dubai Investment fund. Previously, the company had left many countries : it left DACH region in 2005 through an MBO of its German and Austrian subsidiaries. In 2006, it did the same in Scandinavia, through an MBO of its Nordic filials (Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Sweden) in favour of its Danish partner who now owns rights on Despec name in Baltic countries. It also seems, even though no comment was made by company managers, that it sold its Serbian subsidiary to BS Processor. It is now on the offensive again, as it opened last summer a subsidiary in France. This new subsidiary, managed by Carole Halnaut who was formerly working for competitor Dexxon, will be present on IT-Partners to introduce itself to French resellers. Funny thing is, Despec France will be a competitor of former Despec Netherlands manager Jean-Marie Lacroix, who recently purchased supplies distributor Pronto. Despec also announced that it planned to come back on German market next year, so this means it will then be in direct competition with its former subsidiary. An interesting game to follow...
