RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. (BUSINESS WIRE), June 13, 2012 – Lenovo, the second largest PC company in the world, has been named one of “The World’s Most Reputable Companies,” according to the Reputation Institute’s 2012 Global RepTrak™ 100, a reputation study of more than 100,000 consumers that assesses the reputations of the world’s most prominent companies. This is the second consecutive year that Lenovo has been recognized in this prestigious survey.
This achievement capped the most successful year in company history marked by rapid global business growth with full-year record sales of nearly $30 billion, propelling Lenovo from the #4 position to become the world’s second largest PC company in the world.
During Lenovo’s fourth fiscal quarter ending March 2012, the company was the fastest growing of the top four vendors for the 10th consecutive quarter and saw its worldwide shipments increase 44 percent year over year. In addition to its PC leadership – fueled by its legendary Think branded commercial product line and fast-growing Idea brand consumer PCs — Lenovo is also the world’s 4th largest tablet manufacturer, has built a rapidly growing smartphone business and recently launched its smart TV business in China.
The third annual Global RepTrak™ assesses the reputations of the world’s largest and most viable companies by surveying consumers across 15 countries. The RepTrak™ model measures the health of a company’s reputation across stakeholders, countries and industries.
