EMEA SuperVAD Exclusive Networks Group has added Turkey based Bilișimcim to its portfolio as it continues in its quest to be the largest pan EMEA Value Add Distributor. With Turkey expected to be the fastest growing economy of the OECD members during 2012-­‐2017*, this acquisition mirrors the Group’s impressive growth strategy and provides a gateway into Asia.

We wanted to start 2014 the way we finished 2013: by adding to our EMEA presence,” said Olivier Breittmayer, CEO of Exclusive Networks Group. “The acquisition of Bilișimcim continues the momentum achieved in 2013, and critically provides us with a gateway into one of the most buoyant economies in the world. Not only this, with the extended geographical reach, our promise of one-­‐touch, many connections, is further enhanced for both new disruptive vendors and our existing portfolio looking to expand and more efficiently scale their business.”

Recently identified as one of the MINT emerging economic giants** (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria and Turkey), and often described as the next ‘China’, Turkey provides excellent economic prospects and reinforces Exclusive Networks Group’s position as the leading independent EMEA value add distributor.
