Saudi Xerox congratulated for sterling growth over the last 12 months

With growth across Xerox's entire solutions portfolio, which includes printers, services and work flow management systems, Saudi Xerox Limited (SXL) has become the company's largest sales organization in the Middle East. The award marks another success for The Olayan Group, which operates and manages Saudi Xerox.

"2008 has been a fantastic year for Saudi Xerox Limited, and I thank each one of you for the tremendous contribution you have made to Xerox both locally and abroad. One of the major factors of this success is the Olayan - Xerox relationship, which has never been stronger," said Childs.

"The main ingredient for our success has been the strong SXL management team, and their long experience, dedication, loyalty, and hard work. These characteristics have defined the Saudi Xerox culture. In 2008, Saudi Xerox is continuing its growth across all business lines and we're looking forward to achieving even more in terms of customer service excellence."

At the team meeting at Saudi Xerox's Riyadh-based headquarters attended by The Olayan Financing Company's President Peter Dadzis and Ehab Guindi, General Manager of Saudi Xerox Limited, Childs called on Saudi Xerox's team to continue breaking their own set records. "I would like to take this opportunity to say that it is time to review where the key investments need to go, in order to stay ahead of the market and the competition."

With offices and employees posted around the Kingdom, Xerox Saudi's clients are a who's who of the nation's largest enterprises, and public sector organizations. Saudi's small to medium businesses are increasingly turning to Saudi Xerox to provide them with the tools and solutions to improve their employees' efficiency.

Working through a dedicated channel of solution providers around Saudi Arabia, Xerox Saudi will be looking ahead to developing the capabilities of its partners to deliver improved levels of service to customers in both metropolitan areas as well as those outside the main cities.

Xerox has recently introduced an expansive new range of small to medium business focused printers. The recent addition of printers and multifunction devices will further help to cement Xerox's position as the printer provider of choice for SMBs in Saudi Arabia.

"We're delighted that Marcus is here and that our joint efforts and hard work have been materializing into this tremendous growth across the board,"

said Ehab Guindi, General Manager of Saudi Xerox Limited.

"Looking forward, we're excited about the new solutions that Xerox has, and will be, introducing into the Saudi market. Xerox is the leader in innovation, and it is not just us who are saying that, it's our customers as well."
