Elo Touch Solutions, a premier global supplier of touch solutions
including touchscreen components, touchmonitors, and all-in-one
(AiO) touchcomputers, received one of the technology industry's
most prestigious honors -- a U.S. "Rising Star" award presented by
the Global Technology Distribution Council (GTDC). The GTDC Rising
Star awards recognize tech companies for exceptional regional sales
growth over the past year through their distribution partners. GTDC
members are among the world's most successful technology
distributors, driving more than $100 billion in product sales
across the globe. Elo received the organization's U.S. Gold Rising
Star for year-over-year hardware sales growth.
Elo Touch Solutions, Inc., a portfolio company of The Gores
Group was among only 12 overall U.S. winners chosen from hundreds
of manufacturers and publishers who rely on distributors to meet
the product and service requirements of technology solution
providers nationwide. The GTDC's 7th U.S. Rising Star awards were
presented Sept. 12 in Newport Beach, California.
The GTDC's U.S. Gold, Silver and Bronze Rising Star winners were
selected based on year-over-year sales growth rates within the NPD
Group's Distributor Track®. Available by subscription, the
Distributor Track aggregates actual distributor sell-through data
to facilitate insight into tech channel sales and pricing
trends.
"Strong relationships are essential in achieving great success,"
said Doug Means, CEO of Elo Touch Solutions. "The Elo Elite Partner
Program was created with that belief in mind and offers a true
measure of the depth of our collaboration with our distributors and
resellers. Our distribution partners have enabled us to expand our
business and better serve the needs of our customers. Elo is
honored to be recognized by GTDC as a 2012 "Rising Star."

sales growth over the past year, as reported by industry research
organization The NPD Group using its Distributor Track®
subscription service. The Distributor Track aggregates actual
distributor sell-through data to enable sharp insight into channel
sales and pricing trends with the ability to drill down into
specific product subcategories, including detailed attributes based
