Gen3 Systems appoints PCI as its new sales distributor in India
FARNBOROUGH, UK – December 2, 2008 – Gen3 Systems Limited today announces that is has appointed PCI Limited as its new sales distributor in India.
PCI was founded and 1986 and is headquartered in New Delhi (tel. +91 11 41 888 999). The company focuses on high technology markets with a strong emphasis on customer service and technical support.
“We are delighted to add Gen3 Systems’ range of high reliability test and measurement equipment to our high technology product portfolio,” says Tribhuvan Akku, PCI Marketing Manager. “Gen3 Systems is a perfect fit both for the reliability-critical industries PCI serves in India, and for the quality and commitment it has towards customer service and support.”
“By appointing PCI as our sales distributor in India Gen3 Systems will be able to further penetrate this strategically important and fast growing market,” comments Gen3 Systems Managing Director, Graham Naisbitt. “Indeed if current trends continue, some studies predict that India – with its population of 1.1 billion people – could overtake Britain to have the world’s fifth largest economy within just ten years, and even go on to overtake the US to become second only to China by mid-century1.
“To what degree this will actually happen remains to be seen: but there is no question that India is a fast growing country with a well-motivated and well-educated population that is willing to work extremely hard to attain the luxuries we often take for granted in the West. This is why Gen3 Systems needs to have a footprint in India and we feel PCI is the ideal partner for our company going forward at this time.”
