The Asian notebook manufacturer returns to the European market with his new extended product range

Taipei, Taiwan, 29. August 2003 - Twinhead International Corp., an innovative developer and manufacturer of portable computers, digital cameras and LCD monitors, today announced that it will strike back to the European market with its own brand name and a wide range of exciting new products. Hence, the new marketing strategy includes an exclusive distribution channel for enhanced market presence and image campaign.

With its progressive products, the extraordinary dedication to quality, continual improvement and its customer oriented philosophy, Twinhead soared to become the number one notebook maker on the Asian market during the past decade. Twinhead's notebooks earned a lot of best product awards and design prizes from reputed magazines.

"We did not turn to the European market early, but dared to invest about two years and a lot of assets to further confine our extended products for maturity and test the new marketing strategy on the Asian market first," said Allen Wu, Vice President of the International Marketing & Sales department of Twinhead International Corp. "We are confident now to make Twinhead a well known symbol for innovation, reliability, and competitively priced high-tech products on the European market, too."

In the US and Europe, Twinhead's LCD monitors have reached a certain level of fame. Even customers abroad, who have either never or seldom heard about Twinhead before, have already benefitted from the experience and quality of the Twinhead International Corp. in the past, since it delivers high grade hardware components for big OEM players like Sharp, HP, Microcenter, ESCOM, Medion, Gericom, etc.

No doubt, Twinhead's recent Notebook series, featuring Intel’s Mobile Pentium4 processor, its digital cameras, LCD-monitors, PDAs and Tablet PCs, are much more than just state-of-the-art technology. Now these delicate products are provided to the customer more directly than before. For European markets, Twinhead will create their own distribution channel under co-operation with local distributor networks for their brand name products; optimise and merge local channels for better efficiency; strengthen their European wide service network with their current subsidiaries in the UK and Germany; reinforce their marketing strategy and, last-but-not-least, increase local service efficiency to a 24-48 hours express care service, including accommodating warranty conditions.

Furthermore, Twinhead plans to intensify its alliances and joint ventures with OEMs and to outsource the production of LCD and plasma TV, digital video and DVD recorders to facilities outside Taiwan.

"The European market has not only become the most embattled marketing areas but also provides a great potential for companies who offer innovative, high-grade products and a customer-oriented service," commented Yu-Jen Kao, Chairman of Twinhead International Corp., "This is exactly our philosophy, and we are looking forward to making Twinhead one of the brand name leaders in Europe."
