The largest manufacturer of aftermarket imaging systems and components said it was “pleased to announce” its role as an approved supplier.

The Recycler reported yesterday on the deal, which will see Static Control become “an approved supplier of non-branded imaging products to the global Cartridge World network”. The retail franchise added that the move “recognises the almost universal use of Static Control products within the Cartridge World network, and brings all franchisees back into compliance”.

Static Control commented in turn that it was “pleased to announce” the partnership, adding that “all Static Control products are now on the approved list, ending confusion for franchisees on what items can be purchased to remain compliant”.

Erwin Pijpers, Static Control’s Senior Vice President of Sales, stated: “Static Control’s exclusive innovations will provide unique opportunities to franchisees, allowing them to grow their product offering and expand profit opportunities. The current management team at Cartridge World is very focused on making the franchisees more profitable, which is in-line with our goal of keeping customers successful.”

Bill Swartz, CEO of Static Control, added: “We have been working closely with Cartridge World franchisees across the world for more than two decades and are pleased to now be on the same page with Cartridge World Corporate. We are very thankful to Steve Weedon, CEO of Cartridge World Global, who has been able to breach the gap between our two companies, allowing Static to continue to provide and expand upon the high quality products, customer service and technical support that Cartridge World franchisees around the globe deserve on a daily basis.”
