Having already established itself as prominent player in the ICT distribution network in the country, ECS can now place another feather on its cap with the exclusive distribution rights for Apple iPhones.
The company’s wholly-owned subsidiary ECS Astar has been a distributor for Apple since 1999, beginning with the range of iMacs. Now with the iPhone on board, ECS will distribute the full range of Apple products including the iMac, MacBook, iPad, iPod, Apple TV and Apple Watch.

ECS CEO Soong Jan Hsung describes the moment “Adding the iPhone into our smartphone portfolio effectively expands our range of smartphones to include premium brands, in addition to our already established affordable range, which would allow us to address consumers’ wide demand spectrum.
We are pleased to add one of the top-selling premium smartphones in the world and extend our relationship with Apple further.

Since entering the smartphone industry in 2013, ECS has developed an extensive smartphone channel of more than 1,500 resellers across the country, making the Group one of the major players in the local smartphone distribution market. The company has over 5500 resellers nationwide including system intergrators and corporate dealers, with strong presence in South East Asia.

“We began distributing the Apple Watch earlier this year and believe that with the iPhone distribution, it would be synergistic and contribute positively to the Group’s performance going forward,” concluded Soong.
