PTC parts company with Germanos over Play

The agency contract between PTC and Germanos expires on April 30. With a network of 200 outlets, Germanos was PTC's largest agent. PTC refused to extend the contract since it does not agree to the sale of its products alongside the products of competing mobile phone network Play. "In Q2 this year we will open several dozen new outlets," declared Grzegorz Bors, the PTC director for sales and marketing. "We want to invest in a network selling Era products since only in such a network we are able to guarantee the appropriate level of services," he added. PTC will open new outlets on its own, but it also relies on organic growth of the networks owned by its agents. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 10) E.B.
