“The results we achieved in the 2008 confirm that our investments on both R&D and Marketing have provided Acer with a solid base for growth and ensure we are ready to face any difficulties that may arise. Acer’s exponential growth is a combination of an increase in brand awareness, consistency of our channel-based business model and fresh technology in all our products”.
