Story
In 1993, four young IT students started buying components, assembling computers and gaining a substantial share in, what was then, a very green IT market in Latvia.
Within a year, the first distribution contracts were concluded with giants of the IT industry such as Seagate, Western Digital and Samsung. This was the beginning of rapid growth and regional expansion over the subsequent years.
Today, the ELKO Group has been a preferred partner in the market for more than 25 years, with more than 1000 employees and strong regional presence in Europe and Central Asia.
