PROFILE |
 |
Borrowing its moniker from the Latin for "you," Vobis Microcomputer lays claim to one of Europe's largest chains of computer retail stores. The company makes computers under its own brand and distributes technology products from such companies as Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Red Hat Software, and Intel. Vobis is partnering its way into the Internet service provider market. Under pressure from other retailers, the company's former parent, European retailing giant Metro AG, tried unsuccessfully to sell Vobis several times before a Vobis franchise owner and an information technology consultant agreed to take a 25% stake in the company. The remaining 75% is owned by the Vobis Group holding company.
