AVG Signs New Distributors, Strengthens Channel Program

Our distribution strategy will provide access to specialized, geo-specific distribution companies. This will increase ease of doing business for our partners.

Our distribution partners can provide services ranging from logistics to pre-sales, finance and technical support. Our AVG Business Sales team will remain heavily engaged with our growing partner base, and at the same time, develop new accounts and relationships within our distribution partner network.  We will also continue to work with our large top-tier distributors to complement our model.
