ECS is a leading Information and Communications Technology (ICT) products and services provider that was established in 1985 and listed on the SGX Mainboard in 2001.

With three main businesses, namely Enterprise Systems, IT Services and Distribution, it has a network of more than 21,000 active channel partners across China, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines. ECS is well-positioned to be a regional partner of choice suitable for any global-leading MNC ICT brand vendor tapping on Asia Pacific's ICT spending growth.

Leading global brand names like Hewlett-Packard, Apple, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, IBM, Oracle and EMC leverage on ECS' extensive channel partner network to distribute their products across the region.

The Group’s Enterprise Systems business aims to give MNCs, local government and domestic companies a competitive edge over their peers by designing, installing and implementing IT infrastructure. ECS’ IT Services business provides a comprehensive range of professional, technical support and training services.

ECS’ Distribution business leverages on a well-established and highly efficient logistical and ICT infrastructure to distribute fast-moving products in the most efficient manner.

In 2007, the Group’s strategies acquired an additional dimension when Hong Kong based and HKSE-listed VST Holdings, a leading distributor of IT components in China  bought a 52.5% controlling stake in ECS from certain ECS substantial shareholders.

The resultant union between ECS’ downstream regional distribution of completed end-user ICT products and VST’s strong upstream component distribution business and market leadership in China, created a combined entity that intends to be a leading full-range Asian ICT distributor. The transaction also makes VST ECS’ single largest shareholder.

The Group has a consistent track record of profitability and a management that is focused on operational excellence to achieve sustainable profit growth and to enhance shareholder returns
