AOPEN creates hardware for different solutions including usage in tough environments. Despite a large brand portfolio of technology distribution, Almasa does not currently offer a commercial grade chrome player, a Mini PC (digital engine) or all-in-one touch (eTILE) displays. Therefore, the partnership with AOPEN will allow Almasa to broaden its offerings.

It is hoped that the collaboration will benefit both companies as well as maximise value to the UAE market.
“Almasa is developing in a vast tempo and so is this region,” explains Jason Hagemeijer, regional sales manager MEA region at AOPEN. “The opportunity to work with Almasa was something we couldn’t miss.

“Our hardware brings more variety to their product ranges, which makes Almasa an interesting distributor for new clients who value in-house knowledge, quality products and good service.”

AOPEN offers three main products: the eTILE, all-in-one touch displays available in 15”, 19” and 22”; Digital Engines, a computing platform consisting of a range of computing devices; and Commercial Chrome devices which are available in both enterprise and commercial grade Chromeboxes, and 10” and 22” Chromebase displays.

Somkant Misra, director of components and audio visuals at Almasa Value Distribution says: “There is tremendous potential for the AOPEN product range. Almasa’s partnership with AOPEN will complement our existing signage business goals of verticals such as retail, hospitality, QSR and transportation.

“Together, we anticipate a robust demand from hospitality and retail leaders who appreciate the value and return-on-investment.”
