According to a Toshiba statement, KAI has been authorized to sell the complete notebook product line, accessories and post-sales services in Nepal.[break]
"Nepal seems like an epicenter for top global brands to anchor in, and more interestingly has the significant year-on-year growth for PCs, especially a discerning taste for cutting-edge notebook PCs," said Max Lee, Toshiba´s regional manager for distributor business of South Asia. “We choose KAI because of their entrenched name in the country, having deep knowledge in both the consumer and corporate needs and wide distribution network.”
Together with KAI, Toshiba will open new concept corners in Kathmandu and other strategic outlets, to cater for both sales and post-sales services offerings, initially. It is planning to open more retail channels and services touch points within this year and consumers can expect timely availability of new products that are introduced in the global market.
"With this association, we are confident that Nepali customers will benefit from globally proven Toshiba products and it´s excellent and unparalleled after sales service" said Sujit Bhupal Malla, marketing director of KAI.
