eSys partners with Foxconn in Rs 50 million initiative

eSys Technologies reaffirmed their commitment to the computer hardware industry by strengthening their relationship with the world's largest electronic OEM manufacturer 'Foxconn' at a media briefing held yesterday.

Foxconn which is a registered component trademark of the Foxconn Technology Group, is the foremost provider of joint-design, joint-development, manufacturing, assembly and after-sales services to global Computer, Communication and Consumer-electronics ("3C") leaders.

eSys Technologies, a part of EZY Holdings, have been distributing Foxconn motherboards since 2010 in Sri Lanka.

The company has grown to be Sri Lanka's leading computer hardware distributor for many global brands such as Intel, Gigabyte Laptops, AOC LCD Monitors, Samsung hard disk drives, optical disk drives, LCD monitors, transcend memory and many more components that make up the day to day computer .

"Foxconn is a renowned brand in the world of technology. Many people know the Foxconn name in association with the manufacturing of Apple products. What people didn't know was that Foxconn also made their own branded components such as motherboards. When we first partnered with Foxconn this was a hurdle that we had to overcome. Our dynamic team were able to overcome this challenge within a short period of time and successfully drove Foxconn to be the leading motherboard brand in the country," eSys Technologies Chief Executive Shafraz Hamzadeen said.

Foxconn is ranked the largest OEM manufacturer in the world, with a customer base that includes Apple, Sony, Intel, Nokia, HP, Acer and Dell. Apple iPhone, iPad, Sony VAIO systems, Intel Motherboards, HP, Acer and Dell machines are all manufactured by Foxconn. Currently the Company has more than one million employees worldwide, with an annual sales revenue of over US $ 85 Billion.

"Foxconn has a strong focus on the Sri Lanka market through our dedicated and exclusive partner - eSys, who is also Foxconn's key distributor in many other regions. The partnership between Foxconn and eSys counts almost one year; in fact it commenced the day we started our channel business. We believe that eSys understands the needs of the emerging channel partner in Sri Lanka," Foxconn Sales Director Anish Rahman said.
