Opticon, the manufacturer of mobile computing and barcode scanners, have presented Varlink, the York based specialist distributor, with an award to mark the fact that, in the last financial year, Varlink achieved the highest level of sales of any Opticon partner in the UK. Richard Adlington, UK General Manager, commented “Varlink have continued to build sales of our hand held terminals and barcode scanners to their Mobility and Auto ID resellers and now their EPoS Distributor sales team have created healthy initial sales within the specialist Retail reseller sector.

An Opticon Value Added Distribution partner since 2005, Varlink has continually met or exceeded all performance objectives agreed between our organisations and this year’s performance is even more remarkable given the global economic background that has clearly impacted on the UK marketplace.

The next 12 months will no doubt provide challenges, however with a host of new Barcode Scanning and Mobility solutions due to be announced shortly by Opticon, both companies are confident that the relationship will continue to grow”.

“Opticon’s aim is to provide high quality Barcode Scanning and Mobility products at a sensible price. Through tireless activity backed up with solid technical knowhow and excellent logistical support, Varlink has been particularly effective in conveying this message to its network of Solution Provider customers throughout the UK and Ireland”

Mike Pullon, Varlink CEO, stated “We are grateful to Opticon for recognising our achievement in delivering long term sales growth by recruiting and supporting a network of resellers for their brand. Opticon are about to launch some innovate and exciting products that will further enhance their position in the UK”.
