BOOM BOOM! Markit opens in the Philippines and Cyprus

 · 

Today we announce a new first in Markit's history.

Two new country operations opening in the same month! bringing our global footprint up to 45 countries. 

Companies based in the Philippine and Cyprus, and our multinational clients with operations in the country, can now register and buy IT hardware and accessories online immediately. 

In the Philippines the Markit IT marketplace is available in Tagalog and English. 

In Cyprus the Markit IT marketplace is available in Greek and English. 

​​​​​​​PHILIPPINES 

Markit’s representation in the Philippines further cements our APAC regional strategy and allows us to help existing clients and new ones to save time and money on their IT hardware and accessories in this huge, dynamic market. 

The Philippines boasts a well-educated workforce, a strategic business location, and a highly developed, business-friendly economy with a wealth of opportunities for companies looking to expand there.  

Its economy has consistently been among the fastest growing in the ASEAN region and indeed globally. The emergence of new job roles in the fields of cyber security, mobile-app development, social-media, and data science will contribute to growth in IT hardware accessory demand in the coming years. 

“Our journey in the Philippines is not just about business - it's also about connecting with the vibrant Filipino culture, embracing their rich heritage, and contributing to the local community. 

We are proud to partner with the most important and successful local distributors including Wordtext Systems, Inc. (WSI) and VST ECS PHILS, INC. 

Through Markit, our multinational clients with local operations, and local Filipino businesses, can quickly and easily buy hardware and accessories from global brands such as HP, Lenovo, Dell, Apple, Jabra, Poly, and many more. We understand that the geographical spread of over 7,000 islands comes with logistical challenges - products that are in stock can take up to 4-6 weeks to be delivered to the most remote islands however deliveries to the primary business centres in Manila and Cebu will be much faster, sometimes even next day! Maraming salamat, Philippines!” 

Are you looking to save time and money on purchasing your IT hardware and accessories in the Philippines or wider APAC region?

CYPRUS ​​​​​​​

Compared to Manila (Philippines), Nicosia (Cyprus) might seem small, but its strategic importance is equally significant. Cyprus has long been our missing bridge between Europe and Asia.

Thanks to 10 years of Markit operations in Greece, we have in depth knowledge of local cultural and business best practices which help ensure supplier and client relations run smoothly. 


“Cyprus has seen a notable increase in company formations and relocations in recent years and we are happy to help these companies, and existing clients with operations in Cyprus, to optimise their IT purchasing requirements. Strong relationships with vendors (especially Lenovo, HP, Apple, Dell, Logitech, Jabra) and local distributors ASBIS CY and NBD mean we were already able to deliver savings to clients on day one of operations!”
