PC 2000 was a business I ran which was focused on importing computer parts from Asia. We built and resell highly afordable PC computers.
The company was firtly based in Avignon--France-- then moved to Cavaillon. I started up to extend the brand throughout a distributors network.
If the early days was really financially efficient, the gross margin dropped significantly with the arrival of asian resellers in France. Therefore I stopped the business and moved forward.
