Diebold and AU to expand partnership in Middle East




Diebold (NYSE: “DBD”) and Alhamrani Universal Company (Universal/AU) are expanding their partnership in the Middle East. The companies recently agreed to extend Alhamrani’s commercial reach in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to other markets in the Gulf, including Dubai, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar.

Since the 1980s, Alhamrani has been Diebold’s exclusive distributor of automated teller machines (ATMs) and physical and electronic security products in Saudi Arabia. Diebold ATMs are supported and maintained by Alhamrani’s network of 20 service-support centers.

Diebold and AU will expand their partnership by leveraging Alhamrani’s expertise in the service area, strengthening Diebold support in the Gulf and Middle East region, when and where required.

...

The expanded partnership is intended to increase Diebold’s business and consolidate sales operations in the region.

1. Thank Jesus

-- that Diebold is doing its part to bring capitalism and democracy to the Middle East, even as it has done here in the U.S.

The tests show that Diebold's machines do not work consistently, which means they don't work fairly, which means they don't work.

How were they awarded this contract? Senator Kerry might want to ask the question one of these days.
