Vigorous Sales of MSI Motherboards and Video Cards Help Put SND on Track to Reach its Goals in Latin America
SND's Strong Performance in Latin America Enables an Expansion of Miami Facilities Greenwich, Conn. -- November 26, 2001 -- The wide acceptance in Latin America of motherboards, video cards and other products manufactured by Taiwan-based Micro-Star International (MSI), has helped put SND, a major distributor of brand name computer peripherals and components, on the road to meeting its 2001 sales goals for the region. "The addition of Micro-Star International to SND's line card has enabled us to provide VARs, integrators and regional distributors with quality products at a competitive price," said Greg Hopkins, chief operating officer of SND's computer products division. John Gamba, MSI's territory manager for Latin America, said: "SND has helped open up Latin America to MSI products. It is a strong and stable company with proven distribution channels in the region." The success of MicroStar's products and the continued strong sales of Intel products have helped SND open up new markets in Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. In fact, SND's Latin American operation-based in Miami, Fla.-has been so successful that it will triple its existing space in December when it moves into a new 32,000 square foot building. "The new facility will enable us to improve customer service and technical support," said Hopkins. "We have essentially been working out of a building designed to handle a quarter of the volume we have been shipping."
