Amman, Jordan - Global digital leader LG Electronics announced the appointment of Advanced Mobile Business Company (AMB) as its open-market distributor for mobile phones in Jordan. The announcement came at an event hosted by AMB at the Sheraton Amman Hotel on Tuesday February 3rd, 2009. This partnership demonstrates LGE's robust approach to reinforce its mobile phone business in Jordan.
During the event, which was attended by LG and AMB mobile phone dealers and representatives of LG mobile business team and AMB's management teams, the new strategic partnership was announced. LGE's upcoming product line for 2009 was also unveiled to attendees, featuring new sensational and sophisticated models such as Cookie (KP-500), Etna (KS-360) and Prada. These, like all LG products, represent the perfect harmony between cutting-edge technology and innovative style, specifically designed to fit, and even surpass, the expectations of consumers, and the needs of the Jordanian market.
The Managing Director of LG Electronics Levant, Mr. Kevin Cha said, "LG Electronics' continued pursuit of excellence applies to our choice of partners as well as our products. We are, therefore, pleased to appoint Advanced Mobile Business Company as a distributor for LG mobile phones in Jordan, and we are confident that this marks the start of a successful and rewarding relationship that reflects positively on our consumers and dealers. AMB commands strong presence in the market and an ability to address the ever-evolving needs of customers, which will offer great advantage in our joint efforts to maximize the reach of our mobile phone products."
From his end, AMB's Sales Manager, Mr. Yousef Hammad, stated, "We are indeed very pleased with our new partnership with LG Electronics in Jordan, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank LGE's management for their trust, which will prompt us to surpass the challenges of today's market. We commit to delivering against our promises to both dealers and consumers, and together with LGE, we hope to have a stronger effect on the Jordanian mobile phone market. We are also eager to start working with LGE's latest mobile phones, in addition to implementing our new incentive program which we hope will prove fruitful to our dealer partners."
According to numbers compiled by DigiTimes, LG Electronics shipped over 100 million mobile phones worldwide in 2008 making the company the third largest handset maker in terms of shipments. While the global economic downturn is expected to continue into 2009, LG's business target is to grow continuously and expand market share, capturing more of the market for feature-packed premium models, Smartphones and mid-to-low end mass volume units.
It is important to note that LG Electronics Levant operates its mobile phone business in Jordan through two distributors; the recently-appointed AMB Company and 7Global.
