Pan-European security distributor Computerlinks’ growth engine kicked into overdrive in the second quarter as turnover powered up 18 per cent year-on-year to €103.1m.
The distributor, which operates in 12 European countries, North America and the Middle East, also registered an 11 per cent spike in net profit to €4.1m as it pointed to strong international progress and success with its vendors.
Stephan Link, chief executive of Computerlinks, said: “We have continued the encouraging start to the year in the second quarter of 2007.
“We are pleased with the decidedly positive start of our new company in the Middle East. After a drop in turnover in the 1st quarter of 2007 Computerlinks North America is back on the anticipated growth path.”
Link added that Computerlinks’ most important vendor, unified threat management specialist Crossbeam, had implemented its product changeover during the quarter. The distributor also signed Blue Coat in North America.
Link concluded: “We expect a positive trend of business for the summer quarter similar to that of the two first quarters of the current financial year, before we experience a significant growth in business activity in the last quarter of 2007 customary for the end of the year.”
