Buenos Aires, Argentina, Aug. 17, 2015 <\/em>\u2014<\/em> By helping successfully expand Toshiba America Business Solutions\u2019<\/a>\u00a0sales and brand recognition in Argentina throughout the last two decades, the company honors its largest international distributor, Ranko S.A.<\/a>\u00a0 Toshiba\u2019s Senior Vice President of Sales Americas, Larry White and Toshiba International Sales Director, Adrian Fuentes-Sanabria\u00a0<\/em>delivered the award to Ranko\u2019s President and Chief executive officer, Rodolfo Paskvan during the office equipment distributor\u2019s national meeting in Buenos Aires, Argentina on May 19th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Upon partnering with Ranko in 1994, sales of Toshiba\u2019s portfolio of industry-recognized e-STUDIO\u2122<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0multifunction products (MFPs) and network document solutions<\/a>\u00a0have risen substantially in Argentina. \u00a0Though the South American country\u2019s economy has undergone challenges during this timeframe, Ranko has experienced steady success. \u00a0Since fiscal year (FY) 1994, Ranko\u2019s sales of Toshiba products and services have increased by more than 130 percent. \u00a0When comparing the distributor\u2019s revenue during the last five fiscal years (from 2010 to 2014), Ranko\u2019s overall revenue has spiked by nearly 60 percent to $20 (U.S.) million in annual revenue in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very fortunate and thankful for our 20-year partnership with Ranko,\u201d White said. \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cHaving relatively little brand recognition within Argentina at the beginning of our relationship, Rodolfo and his entire team have almost single-handedly expanded our company\u2019s awareness and sales footprint exponentially in his country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we began the business, our primary objective was finding a preeminent technology partner capable of equipping our customers with a streamlined, best-in-class print fleet,\u201d Paskvan said. \u00a0\u201cWhen the opportunity with Toshiba presented itself, we knew we had found a partner and that relationship has flourished ever since that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

With 120 dealers throughout Argentina, Ranko currently services 500 major accounts including many of the preeminent banking, energy and technology companies in the country.<\/p>\n
