Teleplan Strategically Targets Indonesia as new Growth Market

AMSTERDAM and JAKARTA, Indonesia, November 30, 2011 -

Teleplan International N.V. (Prime Standard, ISIN: NL0000229458), the leading global provider of high-tech after-market services for the Computer, Communications and Consumer Electronics industries is opening its third site for Communications (Mobile, Networking) after-market services in Jakarta.  

Kalamullah Ramli, Senior Advisor to the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, Elmar Bouma, Director of the Indonesian-Netherlands Association (INA) and Hajo Provó Kluit, Deputy Head of the Economic Department at the Embassy of the Netherlands, all participated in the opening ceremony, held by Teleplan’s Chief Executive Officer Gotthard Haug and local Teleplan management.

The after-market service landscape in Indonesia is dominated by local repair shops, lacking in high-tech capabilities to provide professional service solutions. This presents an opportunity for global after-market service companies such as Teleplan, providing end-to-end solutions fulfilling the needs of OEM customers.

Teleplan’s growth strategy in Indonesia will be supported by global advanced engineering skills and know-how, combined with existing strong relationships with OEM companies. Teleplan first expanded into Indonesia in 2007 and now operates three sites there - two in Jakarta and one in Surabaya. Teleplan has made a significant commitment to the country, with an Indonesian workforce of 240 people, and approximately US$2M invested to date. Teleplan’s services for electronic equipment range from Mobile, Storage, Network, LCD, PC & Notebook to Set-Top-Boxes.

“This important strategic step will lead to a transfer of technology and engineering know-how and allow us to offer an even better quality of service to the Indonesian end consumer. As people in Indonesia spend more and more time online, their needs for better service and support can only increase,” commented Gotthard Haug, CEO of Teleplan. He added: “Growing our business in Indonesia will increase our local workforce and lead to further investments there.”

Teleplan International N.V. is one of the top suppliers of high-tech after-market services and provides total lifecycle care solutions for the world of Computers, Communications and Consumer Electronics (”3Cs”). The lifecycle care concept ranges from simple repairs to the most sophisticated technological and electronic solutions. Headquartered in Amsterdam/Schiphol, the Netherlands, Teleplan currently operates from 24 sites in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia with approximately 5,300 employees.
