Reporting from Remax IF SouthAfrica

Remax IF Conference South Africa facilitates local industry relationships

Recycler Publishing & Events held its latest Remax IF conference on 19th September 2007 in Durban, South Africa.  The conference was held with the aim of bringing the industry together and providing them the latest market information they need to succeed in this very competitive market.  

Delegates heard from a wide range of speakers including David Connett, Paul Jeffery and Ali Amri who provided their views and forecasts on the global and South African domestic markets. According to David Connett, the market for remanufactured products is set to double over the next three years offering a busy and dynamic period for remanufacturing in South Africa.

Sponsors OCP and Static Control Components gave very informative seminars with OCP’s Mark Pinner talking very informatively about the problems and solutions in inkjet remanufacturing, while Static Control’s Dieter Sears gave a very candid presentation on the future of monochrome in our industry.   

In a first for a Remax IF Conference, delegates participated in a series of forum sessions to discuss issues impacting on the remanufacturing industry. Raising the industry profile with consumers was the “hottest” among several topics discussed by the forum groups. All the delegates participated actively, brainstorming and offering solutions to some of the issues facing the industry – marketing, training, quality and the need for a trade association. Some delegates even volunteered to take the lead in projects such as an industry marketing campaign.    

David Connett, Managing Director of Recycler Publishing & Events, said “South Africa is a very dynamic market and has a solid future. It is good to get so many forward-thinking members of the industry together and I look forward to coming back next year.”   

Remax IF conferences are held around the world with the aim of promoting the toner and inkjet remanufacturing industry. During the next three months Remax IF conferences will travel to Belgium, India and Turkey. Demonstrate leadership in your market by taking part in the Remax events, the best place to trade, learn and network in the remanufacturing industry!
