In what the company describes as a "concerted
push" into the Australian Skype hardware business, audio accessories
distibutor, Musicway has signed up to act as a distributor for Skype
branded products in Australia.
The
deal will cover things like Skype-certified Skype starter kits,
webcams, headsets and more in regular retail outlets around the
country, all supplied by theMelbourne-based distributor.
Musicway
specialises in distributing accessory products to the audio,
audio-visual, home DVD, in-car entertainment, MP3/MP4, television and
video accessories markets. It distributes to thousands of bricks and
mortar stockists across Australia and has been in business for over 30
years.
Musicway
started out as an accessories reseller, progressively developing into a
national importer and distributor for mobile lifestyle and music technology brands. The company was acquired by a subsidiary of
Singapore-listed Fraser & Neave in 1985 and expanded.
"Our
aim to supply 100 per cent of top sellers to our customers on time, all
the time and this has helped us to establish strong partnerships with
many globally popular brand-name accessory manufacturers and market
their products successfully throughout Australia," says Musicway MD
Mike Hollyman. "We carry almost 1,000 sku's in our range, including our
own well established house-branded products."
Chris Lewis, Skype's head of Marketing &
Business Development, Asia-Pacific said the partnership with Musicway "will ensure
Australian consumers are able to buy products approved by Skype in
numerous retail chains across the country."
"Many
of the products under Musicway's remit were specifically designed for
use with Skype and will only serve to further enrich the Australian
Skype user experience."
