said Manish Bakshi, General Manager, BenQ, Middle East and Africa.

'We feel proud to be associated with BenQ for the past 5 years, which has indeed been fruitful with our revenue target exceeding 35 to 40 per cent, consistently over the years. BenQ's continuous support and deep understanding of the local market combined with our strong infrastructure facilities have worked wonders for our local retail and channel partners,' said Mohamed Sameh CEO of IBS.

Egypt is in the middle of a major economic makeover and driving this, although quietly, is the rapid transformation of the consumer electronics market. 'Our experience thus far in Egypt has been one of consistent demand across our entire product range in both the consumer and corporate sectors,' said Bakshi.

BenQ's retail sales growth can be attributed in part BenQ Purple Warriors, exclusive merchandisers spread across various retail outlets across Egypt including Carrefour, Compume, Hyper One, Appliance.Raya, Gaballa Group & Radioshack.
