MERLION - the official distributor for Freecom, a new player in the Russian market of hard drives

In September 2011, Freecom, owned by Mitsubishi Kagaku Media, officially announced the release of 2.5" mobile hard drives developed in Germany into the Russian market. MERLION has become the first official distributor for Freecom in Russia.

Freecom produces unique desktop and mobile hard drives, network devices, flash drives, recordable DVD-drives, RDX (professional data storage systems) and tape storages based on innovative projects that make the storage process more convenient than ever before. Freecom focuses its attention on creativity and innovativity at all stages of the design process and often resorts to cooperation with third-party technology partners and well-known designers during production process. For instance, Freecom MOBILE DRIVE XXS that won several prestigious design awards and the unique Freecom MOBILE DRIVE CLS were all designed by the renowned Belgian designer Sylvain Willenz. Most Freecom products are equipped with Green Button - a software that allows you to save energy when the disk is not under use. Freecom Engineers guarantee single-piece quality control of their products - every product goes through pre-sale testing.

"With more than 20 years of experience, we are aware that at present the Russian market is overloaded with external hard drives. We want to bring to the market, not so much of external storage devices as fashion accessories - reliable and high quality - that can charm the demanding Russian consumers", said Cas de Heus, Freecom marketing and communications manager in Europe.

MERLION today offers its partners the products of this manufacturer: 2.5" mobile hard drives and accessories - Freecom MOBILE DRIVE Mg, Freecom MOBILE DRIVE XXS, Freecom MOBILE DRIVE CLS and Freecom TOUGH DRIVE.

"MERLION has extensive experience in the promotion of external hard drives in the Russian market and our product range in this area is one of the most extensive - said Anton Lukyanov, director in the purchasing department of MERLION. - We are confident that Freecom solutions will successfully complement the existing trademark portfolio, and their unique design and superior quality will undoubtedly be appreciated by all our partners and customers".
