TARGUS COMPANY PROFILE
If the question is mobility, Targus is the solution! CSD Targus
Distribution is the largest distributor of mobile accessories in
Africa, and the sole South African distributor of Targus Inc.
Globally, Targus is the leading supplier of mobile computing cases
and accessories. Founded in the UK in 1982, Targus in partnership
with IBM designed a carry case that would help IBM to make their
then 'luggable' portable computers easier to carry. Since then, they
have employed foresight and capitalised on future trends and
consumer needs to become the undisputed innovators and leaders in
manufacturing the highest quality notebook carry cases and mobile
accessories. Targus was the first to offer a genuine 'Lifetime
Warranty' that warrants to the purchaser that its cases are free
from defect on material and workmanship, which is up-held in South
Africa.
Targus currently has a global distribution network that spans 176
countries worldwide, that is virtually an office in every commercial
city worldwide. They have eight dedicated manufacturing facilities,
including a specialised leather factory in Turkey, with the balance
being situated predominantly in the East. This places Targus in a
very strong position to support the massive customer, dealer, retail
and distributor base that it currently serves.
Targus has one of the most extensive ranges of mobile cases and
neoprene skins designed to protect the notebook computer it carries.
All the carry cases are manufactured with the highest quality
protection systems. The older generation cases are designed with
high-density foam, which will absorb the impact of any knock or fall
at any angle. Protecting the notebook and its contents are the most
important elements in the performance of a notebook carry case, all
our cases are subjected to a free-fall drop-test on each side
(bottom, left, right, front & back) at a height of 1.5m. Targus has
developed a full line of carry cases to meet the needs of all mobile
professionals.
Targus’ recent market research revealed that customers simply want
computer accessories that do the job they were designed for.
Accessories should increase productivity and enjoyment of the laptop
experience for today’s connected consumers. Taking that to heart,
Targus has designed a new line of accessories that marries
straightforward functionality with top-quality design. Targus’
accessory portfolio is extensive and covers most eventualities that
mobile users may face. All accessories have been designed with 4
factors in mind:
-

approachable)
