ELKO Group Becomes Official Wholesale Distributor of „TomTom” Navigation Devices in Baltic States


Starting this year, ELKO Group JSC, one of the leading IT product wholesalers
in Eastern Europe has become the first local wholesaler of „TomTom” navigation
devices for the Baltic States market. Collaboration has begun in the second
quarter of this year. 

Earlier, „TomTom” products were only supplied to the Latvian market by a
foreign wholesaler's branch office. From now on, ELKO Group also offers
„TomTom” products in Latvia and the Baltic States. With ELKO Group joining the
official distribution network of the German office of „TomTom”, Latvian vendors
will have access to an even broader range of these products. 

In early May, „TomTom” came forth with two new product lines: „TomTom One” and
„TomTom XL”. The products have been completely redone and adapted to the latest
requirements. The new product range is characterised by a compact design and
the new, easy-to-fold „EasyPort™” system. At this point, ELKO Group is offering
Latvian IT product retailers the classical range of „TomTom” products, and very
soon, ELKO Group will start to offer the latest “TomTom” product lines. 

„TomTom” is a world-leading developer and manufacturer of navigation systems,
with a 50% market share in Europe and a 25% market share in the U.S. The
company's products are based on navigation solution offerings using satellite
navigation, or GPS. 

ELKO Group JSC was founded in 1993. ELKO Group JSC is the largest company in
Latvia, reaching a turnover of over one billion U.S. dollars last year. The
main aspect of the company's business is wholesale of computer equipment and
electronics in the Baltic States, Central Europe and the CIS. The company
represents around 70 manufacturers and sells their products to more than 6 300
retailers, local computer manufacturers and systems integrators. ELKO Group
offers over 7,000 products made by the world's best-known suppliers: „Acer”,
„Intel”, „Seagate”, „Samsung”, „Sony” and „Western Digital”. At the moment,
ELKO Group employs a total of 330 people. The company belongs to several
private persons, alongside with investment funds „East Capital” and „Amber
Trust”.
