Bringing Unparalleled Power Conversion Solutions to Support the Rapidly Growing Local Market

HO CHI MINH CITY – 12 April 2019 – Tech Data (Nasdaq: TECD) today announced it is expanding its relationship with Schneider Electric IT Vietnam, a global leader in power management and efficiency for business to bring APC by Schneider Electric’s entire range of products and power conversion solutions to the Vietnam market. This latest agreement builds on the successful ongoing Vietnam partnership between Tech Data and Schneider Electric IT and encompasses, edge computing, network closets, server rooms, micro data centers, small and medium data centers, and industrial power solutions.

Vietnam is one of the fastest growing economies in the world with average real GDP growth that could reach 5.1% p.a. between 2016 and 2050, as outlined in PwC’s Spotlight on Vietnam report.
