Simon Richards, EMEA Distribution Manager for Wyse, handed the awards over to Thomas Kleinkuhnen, European Business Director, and Ralf Roggen, Product Manager at Avnet Visual + Data Solutions. For successful business development and as the highest-revenue distributor in Europe, Avnet received the “European Distributor of the Year FY04” award. By honouring Avnet as “Central European Distributor of the Year FY04”, Wyse recognised the outstanding project work by Avnet, who achieved above-average revenue growth, above all in the UK, Germany and the Netherlands.

As Thomas Kleinkuhnen says, “For the Avnet Visual + Data Solutions business unit Wyse is one of the most important manufacturers, and we are doing everything we can to build further on the market share of the Windows-based terminals across Europe. The market has major growth potential and the revenue increases prove that we’re on the right track.”
