In the third deal of its kind, Acer became committed to delivery of 1,800 high-end commercial desktops to the Tunisian Ministry of Education. Acer has already supplied more than 4,758 desktops to the Ministry of Education in the last two years.

"This deal is not just a significant milestone for Acer, it is a reflection of the strength and presence of Acer as a brand, especially with educational institutions across the region," said Mohammed Hilili, Country Sales Manager, North & West Africa, Acer Computer, (M.E) Ltd.

"Acer is fulfilling existing commitment to supply Ministries of Education in Oman, Ethiopia, Morocco, and Jordan with high-end Acer computers," added Hilili.

Acer Computers has a strong presence in Tunisia. It has been the vendor of choice for the Tunisian Ministry of Technology for two years, with more than 8,950 notebooks and desktop computers already delivered.

As part of the deal, the IT vendor will also provide after sales support through its partner Tunisie Micro Informatique.
