Our cooperation over recent years has been beneficial for both parties and has given us insight into the mutual emphasis and care that both our organizations place on innovation and quality, so we feel there is a strong synergy of values between FTI and Verbatim. We very much look forward to building upon our partnership and further developing the business footprint of both FTI and Verbatim within the Middle East”.
Gary Milner, VP Sales & Marketing at Verbatim GmbH said, “As the world’s leading Optical Storage brand, we have felt that there is a substantial opportunity to gain additional market share in what is a highly dynamic region. By partnering with FTI, we believe that the combination of our product innovation and FTI reputation for quality will be a new powerful force in the region, delivering unprecedented levels of customer service and availability – not previously seen before for the Verbatim brand.
