The ELKO GROUP story
In 1993, four young IT students started buying components, assembling computers and gaining a substantial share of the very green IT market in Latvia
Within a year, the first distribution agreements were signed with IT industry giants such as Seagate, Western Digital and Samsung. This was the beginning of the rapid growth and regional expansion seen in the following years.
Today, ELKO Group has been a preferred market partner for more than 25 years with more than 1500 employees and a strong regional presence in Europe and Central Asia
