TomTom dropped by its South African distributor

06 Jun 2008

The exclusive South African distributor, Core Group, has ended its relationship with TomTom. After being partners for approximately eighteen months, Core decided to drop TomTom because of its "failure to honour its contractual obligations".

"TomTom's inability to supply a competitive product range and support it with appropriate marketing activities in southern Africa" left no choice but to terminate the relationship with the Dutch company, the director responsible for Core Group's navigation business, RJ van Spaandonk said.
