Allview tablets and smartphones sales increase four times, to EUR 30 million

Visual Fan Brasov, the producer of Allview tablets and smartphones, estimates a two-figure increase in sales in 2014, from EUR 30 million in 2013, given that the local market still presents a high demand for tablets, writes MEDIAFAX.

In 2012, the company recorded a turnover of EUR 7 million.

“In 2013, our sales came close to EUR 30 million and we sold over 250,000 units, tablets and smartphones. International sales represented 7 to 8 percent of total. For this year, our objective is to record a two-figure growth in sales, and the international market will represent over 10 percent of total”, according to Dorin Gaman, director of operations.

Owners of Allview also announced on Thursday they will be launching X2 Soul, the Thinnest Smartphone, on the European Market.
