Hong Kong – February, 2009 – RTMAsia (www.rtmasia.com), the leading providers of Asian business acceleration services to global technology companies, announced today the establishment of Chumby’s first overseas subsidiary company in Japan. “Thousands of chumbies have made their way into Japanese homes since the product was launched in Tokyo in August 2008. With unprecedented interest from Asian manufacturers to produce new devices powered by the Chumby Network, the establishment of Chumby Japan will allow us to focus our resources and efforts to bring new Chumby products to the Japanese market in conjunction with our partners.”, said Steve Tomlin, CEO, Chumby Industries.
The formation of Chumby Japan represents a key milestone in the partnership between RTM Asia and Chumby Industries. RTM Asia was first contracted by Chumby Industries in December 2007 to help accelerate the adoption of the Chumby’s technologies in the Asia Pacific region. Since then, RTM Asia has successfully established distribution channels for Chumby in the Japan and Australia markets, bringing thousands of chumbies into Japanese and Australian homes. The launch of the chumby in Asia has been widely publicized with coverage from over 30 publications in both Japan and Australia including prime-time coverage on Tokyo’s Fuji TV “Sakiyomi” show and an upcoming publication of a book on chumby by Softbank Creative, the publishing arm of the Softbank group.
“RTM Asia looks forward to bringing a number of new and exciting Chumby technologies to the Asia Pacific market in the coming months. We are working with Chumby Industries on the upcoming launch of a localized Japanese version of the Chumby device as well as bringing to market the new Chumby Digital Photo Frame and HDTV enabled Chumby which were both announced and demonstrated at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas in January, 2009.”, said Henry Fong, CTO and founder of RTM Asia.
