Starting from 1st July, 2016 ELKO Group has become the official distributor of Lenovo notebooks in Russia - the top selling brand in Russia and the rest of the world.

ELKO Group holds exclusive distribution rights of Lenovo smartphones and tablets in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, and is also the official distributor of Lenovo notebooks in Ukraine. Although up to now, ELKO had the right to sell Lenovo notebooks in Russia, the status of the official distributor opens up significantly more profound cooperation with retail market, offering full assortment of Lenovo and providing better sales conditions and after-sales service.

Martins Ozolins, ELKO Group Distribution Director: “We are glad that more than 7 years of successful cooperation with Lenovo has opened up the opportunity for ELKO to prove its abilities also in the Russian market of notebooks in the status of the official distributor. ELKO strategy is to cooperate with the strongest brands in each segment and Lenovo is by all means the leader of the notebook segment. We are sure that this cooperation will provide our customers the best choice of notebooks, allowing to significantly strengthen ELKO positions in the market.”

Alexander Kataev, Lenovo General Manager in Russia: "The company Lenovo and ELKO Group are bound by long-term cooperation, which allows no doubt about the reliability and professionalism of the specialists of this company. Therefore, we note with great satisfaction the expansion of ELKO exclusive rights in Russia on the supply of computer equipment manufactured by Lenovo, as well as the fact that from now on, the company is the official distributor of all Lenovo mobile solutions.”

Currently, Lenovo is the largest manufacturer of notebooks in the world. Thanks to applied technologies and performance, several Lenovo notebook models are the best in their class. Lately, Lenovo has been devoting special attention to the development of the unique Yoga series and powerful products creation for gamers. Special mention should go to the IdeaPad Y900, launched in May this year, with the fastest SSD disc available that applies for the leading status in the segment of gaming and multimedia.
