Beginning next month, customers will be able to purchase Dell XPS and Inspiron products in Tesco stores in the UK, Ireland, Poland, Czech Republic, and Slovakia.

With Dell and Tesco’s proven expertise in both supply chain management and manufacturing execution, this agreement is the logical next step in Dell’s evolving global retail strategy.

“With over 13 million customers per week shopping at Tesco’s stores, this deal will result in substantial exposure for Dell’s brand and products”, said Mark Ormerod, Vice President and General Manager, Consumer business for Dell’s Europe, Middle East and Africa operations.
