Arena Computer Distribution

Arena Bilgisayar Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. is an IT products distributor founded in 1991 and converted into a joint-stock company in 1996. Its head office is in Kagithane, Istanbul. The company's main shareholder is Redington, a technology distributor operating in India, the Middle East and Africa; the remaining shares are publicly held and trade on Borsa Istanbul under the ticker ARENA.

Arena is the Turkish distributor for numerous global brands that make computers, computer equipment, networking, data storage, mobile phones, software, and energy and automation systems. Through its dealer network, it supplies products such as computers, tablets, smartphones and software across the country. Beyond classic distribution, it supports business partners with logistics, financial solutions and cloud solutions; events for dealers and an online dealer platform are also part of its services. The company publishes its sustainability reports in line with TSRS, the Turkish Sustainability Reporting Standards.

For technology distributors, thin profit margins mean that the main variables investors watch are currency movements, inventory management, receivables collection, financing costs, the continuity of brand agreements and consumer electronics demand. The fact that the company's financial year begins in April is taken into account in period-to-period comparisons.
