River Jacek Bator S. J. – Company Profile
The Beginning
River company was established in 1988. Initial concentration on computer hardware market and positioning ourselves in role of dedicated distributor providing added value. We were fully engaged in activities aimed at increasing the market share of the products we have distributed. For every product line, River created an added value, which included not only pure marketing elements, but also high quality technical support.
Achievements
This policy has been so successfully implemented by River in the past 16 years that we have become the major player in a number of spectacular market successes. We boosted OKI to become number one supplier of dot matrix printers in Poland, relegating worldwide leader Epson to number 2. Our efforts and perfect cooperation with a manufacturer, lead Samsung to position number 1 as the monitor supplier. In 1999 Canon was number 2 supplier of ink jet printers, its ever best result on the Polish market, when River was biggest Canon distributor.
With an annual turnover of 10 Million USD, River has become permanently established among the top 30 hardware distributors in Poland.
Distribution and Service Network
Our distribution network covers the entire country and includes around 2000 satisfied and loyal dealers. Knowing their business profiles helps us to determine the best way of promoting the new product line into the market.
This knowledge is being systematically updated and used also to secure the transactions from the financial point of view – despite a generally tough financial situation on the market we have managed to keep bad debts to an extremely low level.
We are able to support marketing activities with high quality technical support. Thanks to a group of dedicated, experienced technicians we can organize seminars, trainings, and also repair products we sell. This potential has been recognized by CANON and a guaranty service agreement has been signed. A network of 12 associated dealers around the country working under the same logo GLOBER SERWIS (owned by River) helps us to offer these services.
Multimedia Kiosks
Technical expertise and market knowledge are extremely important for our most recent and becoming more important activity - designing and manufacturing the multimedia information kiosks and photo kiosks. We started this activity over 4 years ago and nowadays we have a portfolio of high quality products at affordable prices and established cooperation with many remarkable companies and institutions. Our offer includes universal information kiosks in outdoor and indoor versions, vandal resistant kiosks, photo kiosks and photo terminals. For 24/7 public access kiosks we have designed a watchdog module, which secures their continuous flawless operation.
Our team of experienced technicians, industrial designers and software developers can take complete and professional care of any specific multimedia kiosk project.
Nowadays, in Poland River is undisputed leader on field of photo kiosks, leaving all others competitors far behind. Regarding information kiosks our sells increased very much this year as we have won several important contracts. This way River information kiosks are well recognized too. Furthermore, we are also very successful selling kiosks abroad.

Of course, River distributors have been participating in many exhibitions themselves, showing River products on their local markets.

would be a real help in sells. That is why we really care about kiosk’s design which would welcome customer’s to approach them.
