The Legend product and other Trend Micro solutions will be sold via Legend Computer’s extensive distribution system of 2,000 distributors, 40 retail outlets and 400 service centers throughout China.
Trend Micro will also join with Legend to provide anti-virus technology and services to their customers. Legend Computer is China’s leading personal computer maker, with a 27% market share and sales of US$2.4bn in 1999, according to Time magazine. The PC market in China is the second-largest in the Asia-Pacific region. As one of the fastest-growing, it is likely to soon become the largest market.
We are very proud to form a long-term strategic alliance with China’s No. 1 computer company, said Steve Chang, President and CEO of Trend Micro. By joining forces with Trend Micro, Legend is addressing the urgent issue of Internet security and the virus problems which constrain today’s Internet usage in China.
