Malwarebytes Signs Redington Gulf Value Distribution as First Middle East Distributor
Advanced anti-malware provider builds on recent regional channel launch, starting operations in Dubai and announcement of in-country management team.
- (1888PressRelease) June 06, 2016 - Dubai, UAE - Malwarebytes, the advanced malware prevention and remediation solution for consumers and businesses, today announced that it has appointed Redington Gulf Value Distribution as its first distributor in the Middle East.
Having recently started operations in Dubai and launched a channel offering headed up by newly appointed Executive Chris Green, the Silicon Valley based company has significant momentum in the region. Redington Gulf Value Distribution will build upon this by providing a focal point for enterprise customers and resellers to purchase products through a local distributor.
Redington Gulf Value Distribution is the value-added distribution division of Redington Gulf - the largest distributor of IT products in Middle East and Africa. The partnership further supports Malwarebytes' wider dedication to the channel in EMEA, joining an ever-growing operation in the UK, Ireland, Estonia, France, and Germany, with more to be announced in the coming months.
