BenQ's Joybook range has made a strong charge into the first half of the year and continues to make strong inroads into the Middle East's retail and dealer markets following its introduction earlier this year.

Sales figures reflect an increase over 60% between the first and second quarters of 2008.

"BenQ is perfectly on track, and all working well, we anticipate an overall sales growth of 60% in the second half of 2008. We take pride in our products and our approach being vastly different to those of our competitors that we are seeing the market react positively to that,"


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

"Going forward BenQ is pursuing an aggressive growth strategy which includes the release of some exciting products as well as continuing to increase our retail presence across the MENA region.

The entire range of Joybook modes are available in most of the retail & dealer outlets including Sharaf Digital, Emax, HyperPanda, Techlink & Computer Plaza in UAE, Carrefour, Spinneys, Compume & Hyperone in Egypt and Emax & Electro outlets in KSA.

BenQ has partnered with leading IT distribution companies across the Middle East including BDL, Saudi Global Computers, International Business Systems and Doha Communications to achieve its growth targets.

"In the retail sector consumers are responding positively to our strong branding which is supported by frequent road shows and the utilisation of our unique BenQ displays in retail outlets," stated Bakshi.
