Carrefour the leading retailer of Dell computers in Europe

Starting from 15 January 2008, Carrefour is to offer Dell computers on an exclusive basis in 365 French, Spanish and Belgian hypermarkets and supermarkets.

The Carrefour Group has signed an exclusive distribution agreement in Europe with the American personal computer manufacturer, Dell, for its stores in France, Spain and Belgium. Carrefour plans to extend the presence of Dell products to other European countries during 2008, in particular Italy. From 15 January, these stores will be offering their customers the choice of a range of Dell office PCs and portable computers, selected by Carrefour.

The Carrefour Group has been working on a fundamental redevelopment of its non-food offering in hypermarkets since 2006, to drive sales by responding to the aspirations of its customers for modernity and innovation. This strategic evolution is characterized by partnerships with prestigious international brands (Max Azria, Disney) in specific sectors – clothing, household equipment and toys.

With this agreement, the Carrefour Group aims to consolidate its position as the leader in IT equipment retailing in France and Europe.
