GS Scandinavia replaces Logitech with Cherry
2011-01-12 Denmark : Logitech has decided to reduce its distribution network in the country from 5 to 4, dropping peripheral and consumer electronic specialist GS Scandinavia in the process. Kept distributors are Actebis, Boston, Despec and Tech Data-Rosenmeier. Freed resources will help the Swiss vendor to address more effectively major retailers and etailers. GS Scandinavia, on its side, decided to replace Logitech with Cherry products (source : Computer Reseller News Danmark).
Dell goes indirect in Scandinavia
2009-07-24 Scandinavia : Dell has decided to sign its first distributor in the country. Supply specialist Despec will thus be authorized to distribute Dell print supplies through its distribution network in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.

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...
