win.rar GmbH celebrates one year of excellent work

20. February 2003

365 days have passed since Öncül Kaya and Burak Canboy, managing directors of win.rar GmbH have signed their contract of founding a company together. What began with a signature at an attorneys office has within only twelve months become a company with a global network of partners working in 38 languages and 20 countries.

After Ron Dwight’s sudden death in March 2002, Burak Canboy managed to built a co-operation with Eugene Roshal from Russia, who is the author of the globally recognized compression Software WinRAR. The newly founded company was asked to continue Ron Dwight’s work.

Within only days the technical team of win.rar GmbH managed to built a highly sophisticated new system of key delivery and customer relation management. All technology, support, marketing and sales related to WinRAR, rarlab.com and rarsoft.com was transferred to the new company that has been handling these matters since.

Within the months of April to December sales of WinRAR increased by 160%. The newly developed system enables customers to quickly and securely receive their keys. The distributor management was simplyfied and enhanced. Now a web-based ordering system enables agents and resellers to finish the ordering process while customers are still on the phone. Instant delivery of a highly developed product with a quick suport and innovative aspects are highly appreciated by private and corporate customers.


WinRAR sales: December showing the increase compared to March 2002.

Author of WinRAR, Eugene Roshal (Russia) about win.rar’s work: “win.rar GmbH’s work has a good overall rating with me. All things are going as they should. Key delivery times are perfect. All keys requested are delivered immediately. Their accounting is a 9 out of 10. Support does the work very well and has good speed. The sales meet my expectations and their payment morale is also 10 of 10.”

win.rar GmbH’s managing director Burak Canboy is looking forward to a continued partnership with Eugene Roshal: “Eugene is providing an excellent piece of software and he is continously improving the program on a highly experienced and knowledgeable level. The program is so good that we can offer free lifelong support for all registered users. win.rar GmbH is only providing services to Eugene so he can continue his work in a good and calm mode, just as he likes it most :-)”
