StockWatch (Jakarta) - PT Trikomsel Oke Tbk (TRIO) has planned to cooperate with international computer manufacturer, Acer, in selling mini computers (netbooks) starting the third quarter of 2009, the company's president Sugiono Wiyono said.

"We see a high interest in mini computers, so we have decided to team up with Acer in marketing the products, in tandem with the company's vision to become a leader in telecomunication and multimedia products and service," he said in a press conference on Friday (26/6) in Jakarta.

He said Indonesia still has a wide market for mini computers so the company is optimistic it will be able to sell a fairly large number of such computers. "We expect the mini computers to contribute approximately 10% of the company's consolidated sales in 2010," he said.

Besides, the company has started to expand the business abroad by founding a company named Trikomsel Private Limited in Singapore which will sell the company's products in foreign countries mainly Southeast Asia. "The company has begun operation since the first quarter of 2009 and the result has been fairly good," he said, and added that Singapore has a more competitive handphone market.

He said that currently the company has 808 OkeShop stores in di 145 cities of Indonesia with a distribution network that consists of 11,000 independent retail sellers. Going forward, the company will open new distribution channels through Oke.Com besides the existing OkeShop, he added. (konrad/bw)
