TAMPA, FL — The Global Technology Distribution Council (GTDC), the world’s largest consortium of technology distributors, announced on October 22 the addition of Redington Limited to its notable membership ranks. The respected distributor of IT/ITeS and telecom products and services supports more than 55,000 partners and 450 vendors in 40 markets, including India, Singapore, South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Turkey.
The addition of Redington Limited furthers GTDC’s continued global expansion initiative, which included the appointment of former Microsoft, IBM, and Compaq executive Ananth Lazarus to build out its Asia-Pacific operations earlier this year. Today’s announcement illustrates the organization’s commitment to the region as it prepares to host its inaugural Summit APJ conference on November 18th-19th in Singapore.
“Distribution empowers the greater IT community, and APJ offers tremendous growth opportunities for vendors and other channel partners,” emphasizes GTDC CEO Frank Vitagliano. “Adding a technology leader like Redington Limited to GTDC’s membership provides us with greater insight into the unique needs of this community while giving their team access to industry-leading research, data intelligence, training, and a variety of other programs. Our channel-enablement efforts grow stronger as we expand into new regions and develop more industry-empowering initiatives and resources.”
Redington is a renowned entity in the region and has received many accolades for its commitment to the technology community, workforce, and civic efforts over the years. Most recently, the organization was awarded the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Platinum certification, which reflects its efforts in environmental sustainability and energy efficiency.
"Joining GTDC represents another significant milestone,” says V.S. Hariharan, Group CEO of Redington Limited. “This membership aligns with our commitment to driving innovation and delivering exceptional value to our partners. By leveraging GTDC’s extensive network and resources, along with our expertise in the technology distribution industry, we look forward to contributing to the council’s mission of fostering growth and excellence in the global technology distribution sector.”
