Cellnet and SanDisk part company

The move comes into effect on January 26

Cellnet has announced it will no longer distribute SanDisk flash memory products.

The move comes into effect on January 26.

The distributor said it would solely focus on its Lexar and Transcend flash memory portfolio.

Cellnet, CEO, Stuart Smith, told ARN it was a mutual decision between the two companies to discontinue the relationship.

“SanDisk are looking to change their distribution strategy and that’s in conjunction with our focus on the other two brands in a longer term partnership,” Smith said.

It anticipates the move will not have an impact for the first half-year ending December 31 and expects a further release of working capital of about $500,000 to be made.

In October, the distributor released a forecast to achieve net profit between $1.4 and $1.6 million for the half-year ending December 31.

In June last year, Cellnet wound up its IT division and sold its IBM business to Avnet.

Nominations for the 2012 ARN IT Industry Awards open on Tuesday, June 12.
