Tech Data takes tablets with Hannspree

Distribution giant signs UK deal to bring vendor's large-screen tablets to market

Tech Data has inked a deal with Hannspree to supply its "big-screen" Android tablets to retailers and e-tailers across the UK for the first time.

The Hannspad Tablet PC range includes 10.1in tablets aimed at home users, and 13.3in versions for a big-screen experience. Mark Glasspool, director of consumer electronics at Tech Data UK, said the timing was right to bring the technology to market.

“Sales of tablets of all kinds are booming and the Hannspad range has tremendous appeal to consumers who want a simple, affordable device for streamlined social media and general everyday use. This new partnership with Hannspree adds further depth to our growing CE portfolio and gives our retailer and web store customers another great option which they can easily add to their own catalogues.”

Martin Kent, UK and Ireland territory manager at Hannspree, said: “This agreement will give more retailers and web stores the opportunity to take advantage of the tremendous appeal of Hannspree tablets in the fastest-growing sector of the market.

"We are very confident about our tablet portfolio and this partnership with Tech Data will enable us to reach further into the UK market and grow our UK sales significantly.”
