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
