Avenir Telecom, manufacturer and distributor of mobile phones and accessories under the exclusive Energizer licence, reinforces its development in the Middle East and consolidates its presence via key strategic agreements with operators, including Etisalat, Zain and Orange. More than 50 Energizer products are currently available at the operators' shops and online stores; this offer will continue to grow in 2020.
A market in demand for high-end accessories and competitively priced phones
In an ever-growing mobile phone market in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) area, with 6.5 million phones delivered in Q2 2019, Energizer® phones and accessories are particularly well received.
Avenir Telecom has built up a product offering renowned for its quality and attractive prices. Among the charging and protection accessories, some have been developed in exclusive partnership with operators to meet specific needs, such as the "Car Charging & Protection Kits" designed at Etisalat's request.
On the mobile side, three Energizer® models are currently available from operators in the region, the E241S, P490S and E500S. This offer will be supplemented in the course of 2020 by new smartphones and feature phones.
