Established in 2002, Timeks initially specialized in selling POS hardware, later adding barcode scanners and printers, industrial keyboards, keypads and touch pads. With the rapid expansion of the kiosk market, Timeks is now also in the position to supply the entire range of components within a kiosk, including Zytronic’s touch screens for applications in banking, medical, digital signage, military and transportation sectors. In addition to Turkey, Timeks serves customers in Azerbaijan and Cyprus.

Atrek Systems’ distribution agreement covers Malaysia and South East Asia for Zytronic’s innovative large form factor PCT and MPCT touch sensors suitable for the kiosk and digital signage market. Atrek is a specialist distributor of IT hardware and kiosk components and has an experienced management team with strong industry contacts in this region.
