CENTENNIAL, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Quantum Corporation (Nasdaq: QMCO) is strategically expanding its distribution model across the high-growth tech markets of China, India, and ASEAN, the company announced today. This move, building on Quantum’s existing footprint in the Asia-Pacific region, aims to capitalize on surging demand for advanced data protection and management solutions, particularly as AI, machine learning, and unstructured data drive a paradigm shift in how organizations handle their information assets.

To accelerate growth, Quantum has forged exclusive distribution agreements with four regional powerhouses: ChangHong IT (CHIT) in China, Rashi Peripherals Limited in India, Hibino Graphics Corporation (formerly NGC) in Taiwan, and ACA Pacific in ASEAN. These partnerships strategically leverage technology expertise, localized market intelligence, and established relationships – including existing customer bases – to amplify Quantum’s reach.

“This marks a pivotal evolution in Quantum’s APAC strategy,” stated Rob Hilligoss, head of APAC sales for Quantum. “By forging deeper alliances with trusted, long-term partners, we’re poised to scale the delivery of transformative data solutions. Our unwavering commitment to customer experience and service quality will underpin our efforts to seize the considerable growth opportunities within these data-centric markets.”

The revamped channel model is designed to broaden Quantum’s market coverage and elevate the customer experience through enhanced local service, faster delivery times, and tailored technical support. Each distributor will spearhead go-to-market initiatives within their respective territories, invest in sales and marketing, and collaborate closely with Quantum to provide comprehensive customer support and services.

This new channel model is effective immediately. For more information, visit quantum.com.
