Although Computex is more than two months away, NetBox Blue will attempt to cement its position in the Asian market with a presence at the upcoming Taipei International Technology Show.

The Queensland Government will support the Brisbane-based email security and management provider at the premier trade show later this year.

The event which runs from June 3-7 is one of the world’s largest IT shows. Computex Taipei will cover 69,183 square metres of space and is expected to host 4,000 booths and attract 35,000 international buyers.

NetBox Blue Chairman, John Fison, said Computex will provide a great opportunity for the company to showcase its unique security and management solutions.

“The Asian market is a key pillar in our international expansion plans and we are looking forward to adding to the relationships that we have already developed in the region. NetBox Blue has just signed a multi-million dollar Master Distribution Agreement with Canon to supply up to 500 email filtering devices a month to its Japanese clients,” he said.

According to Fison, the company has already built strong partnerships in Asia, with a regional manufacturing base in Taipei, and plans for a regional headquarters in Hong Kong to support its expanding list of Asian partners.

“I see Computex Taipei as an important chance to demonstrate just why our solutions are so effective in filtering email and managing internet usage. We welcome the Queensland Government’s assistance in that effort,” he said.

Queensland Minister for Trade, John Mickel, said the Queensland Government's export agency, Trade Queensland Taiwan, has been working closely with NetBox Blue to help improve the company's profile and position in Asia.

“Trade Queensland Taiwan has recently assisted Netbox to participate at one of the world's leading IT shows, Computex in Taipei, and has arranged a targeted business program for them during the show,” said Mickel.
