FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
A1 Teletronics adds Toshiba to list of manufacturers
St. Petersburg, Fla. September 5, 2000 - A1 Teletronics, the independent distributor
that opened for business in 1994 with just one product line, today welcomes Toshiba to its
list of manufacturers. "Our philosophy has always been to know the market and the product
in order to provide the best customer service in the industry," according to A1 General
Manager Don Sturiano. "Adding Toshiba as a manufacturer is just our way of responding to a
recent trend we identified in the market," reports Sturiano, who describes his company's
purchasing team as a group of product specialists who watch "every move the market makes to
keep [A1's] offering current and priced competitively. When our team noticed a rise in
customer demand for Toshiba, we did what we had to do to make sure we were there for our
customers," Sturiano explained.
The process of adding Toshiba as a manufacturer to A1's standard Nortel® and Lucent offerings
began with allocating additional capital to purchase and stock three types of Toshiba charcoal
phones, the DKT2010S, DKT2010SD, and DKT2020SD. While the company is currently stocking these
lines only, A1 representatives are able to quote customers on any new and refurbished Toshiba
products. Sturiano envisions a strong showing: "A1 is a leader in the distribution of Nortel® and
Lucent. With our proven business model, marketing expertise, financial purchasing power, and
strong focus on quality and customer satisfaction, we will become the dominant force in the
Toshiba market as well," he affirms.
