Mustek has signed an exclusive two-year agreement to distribute Blubox Software's image compression technology in South Africa.

Mustek, South Africa's leading systems integrator, assembles and distributes the Mecer-branded range of PCs, notebooks and peripherals. In addition, Mustek stocks and distributes a range of other branded IT and related electronic products.
Blubox software compresses digital images by as much as 95% without any loss of quality.
"We're very pleased to have reached agreement to market Blubox across South Africa on an exclusive two-year basis, as well as Nigeria and Kenya on a non-exclusive basis," says David Kan of Mustek. "We'll be using multiple channels to sell the software, including in-store retailing, bundled deals, pre-loading onto PCs and notebooks, and direct downloads from our website."
Commenting on the deal, Peter Boswell of Blubox says: "This is a milestone agreement in the global deployment of BluboxT and we look forward to a long and fruitful relationship with Mustek."
