Foxxum signs deal for Sharp smart TVs

August 7, 2015 08.44 Europe/London By Robert Briel

FOXXUM LogoUMC Slovakia and Foxxum have signed a five years exclusive contract to bring smart TV functions to Sharp TVs.

UMC is the European Sharp license holder and as a result of the deal, Foxxum will integrate its high smart TV solution into all newly developed connected Sharp TV series sold in Europe.

Users will gain access to a set of smart TV functions as well as an international content portfolio and local content in Europe, Latin America, Africa, Middle East and Asia. At the same time, Foxxum content partners are able to expand their reach to millions of Sharp end-user devices without an extra integration procedure.

“We are very happy about signing Foxxum as our new smart TV solution provider. They have shown a very strong expertise to grow a successful Smart TV business together“, stated Aslan Khabliev, CEO at UMC.

„It is an honour for us to work with an innovative brand like Sharp and we are happy to uphold
our momentum within the professionalization process of Smart TV solutions worldwide. UMC’s long-term commitment to Foxxum for the Sharp brand in European market again confirms the leading position Foxxum hold in the market,” said Ronny Lutzi, CEO at Foxxum.
