Web Connection Continues Expansion in Asia
Leading E-Business Integrator Open for Business in Thailand
HONG KONG, Jan. 4 /PRNewswire Asia-AsiaNet/ -- Web Connection, wholly owned subsidiary of chinadotcom corporation (Nasdaq: CHINA) and Asia's leading e-business integrator, today launched it's presence in Thailand through the acquisition of leading e-business services firm, Cyberimage, based in Bangkok, in a three-year buyout deal.
Cyberimage was an early entrant in the interactive industry, having started its services business in 1995. Since then, it has grown to 40 staff and helped companies such as Procter & Gamble, GE Capital, Hitachi, Panasonic, Toyota and Siam Cement bring their businesses online. "Adding Cyberimage's local knowledge and strong client base to Web Connection's Asian and global footprint will further bolster our position as Asia's leading e-business integrator," commented Web Connection President and Chief Operating Officer, Steve McKay.
Managing Director of Cyberimage, Pitinon Poonsaengsathit, added, "We are pleased to become part of the Web Connection and chinadotcom group of companies. Joining the strongest Internet company in Asia ensures the continued development of our business in a tough but very promising business environment. Thailand is a strategic Internet location in Southeast Asia, and its growth positions it well to lead its regional neighbors."
The Cyberimage deal follows Web Connection's recent entry into Europe through the acquisition of Revolution in the UK. These recent transactions reinforce Web Connection as a leading provider of truly global e-business strategies and solutions and help extend its local services to support its growing international client base.
Jon Winslow, Regional Operations Director, added, "Although Web Connection aims to expand organically, focused acquisitions such as with Cyberimage allow us to acquire first-rate talent, which helps accelerate the growth of our business to all corners of the world."
