Verysell Group of companies

Verysell Group (former Merisel CIS) has been operating since 1990. It is one of the most successful IT companies in Russia and the CIS.
More than USD 0,7 Bln worth of products from world's leading computer manufacturers have been sold through the channels of Verysell over the 12 years.

During 12-year existence of the company, Verysell Group professionals have built a successful business, accumulated powerful intellectual potential and achieved financial independence. The company plays an important role in the economy of the entire country, and influences the development not only of the high-tech market, but of other economic segments as well. Verysell is a long-term distributor of such giants as Hewlett Packard-Compaq, Microsoft, IBM and Sun Microsystems, with a sales volume of almost half-a-billion dollars. This entails a burden of credit and monetary risks in one of the most unpredictable markets of the world. This is one of the most important strategic points of the newly organized Holding policy.

Another important aspect of the policy of the company is the development of Russian business mainly on the basis of foreign investments and credits. This element has determined the legal structure of business the Holding Company of the Group located abroad, in a country with a stable and favorable investment climate, and the main part of the company is represented by Russian subsidiaries. The management, and particularly the financial management, conforms to international standards in order to attract foreign banks and investors. The renowned auditor firm 'Deloitte&Touche' substantiates this annually.

"While reviewing its strategy, the Group has reassessed the Russian market, which is very important for the company. Over the past decade this market has achieved a high degree of maturity. Therefore, rather than copying West European firms, Verysell became a primarily "Russian business style-oriented" company"
said the President of Verysell Group Mikhail Krasnov.

A European company with a well-established and developed structure, Verysell excels in the Russian market by taking into account the scope and potential for development of its economic structures.
Verysell Group of companies includes: Verysell Distribution, Company OBINKO that is a system integrator company , Verysell Telecom and Verysell Express.
Now Verysell has signed direct distribution agreements with 13 manufacturers (vendors). Those are Hewlett Packard-Compaq, APC, Aquarius, Avaya, Enterasys Networks (former Cabletron), IBM, Lexmark, Microsoft, NAI, Novell, SGI, Sun Microsystems and ViewSonic.
