The Austrian distributor claims to offer “the best of the best”.
Short-term attainment of materials is, according to Austrian distributor IPA PrintService, increasingly important for remanufacturers, and one of the key challenges they must overcome today. The many different suppliers to the printing industry, it claims, “are struggling with delivery times, too few empties, production overload, and much more.” That’s why IPA are confident they have found the solution, by filtering out the strengths and weaknesses of most European manufacturers to unite “the best of the best in our assortment.”
The Amstetten-based distributor, founded in 2014, offers around 1,500 products from the OEMs. It is founded on the belief that “everything should be immediately available”, and claims that its large range of products prevents “waiting times, delivery delays, or delivery problems of any kind.”
IPA offers remanufactured products for both laser and inkjet printers, as well as copiers and large format printers; this range includes ink cartridges, toner cartridges, drums, and ribbons. All products are sourced from suppliers across Europe, and then packed and despatched from the distributor’s Austria headquarters. It delivers in neutral cardboard as standard, but also offers a bespoke service whereby it produces branded packaging for your company.
IPA state that they also offer the opportunity “for small and medium trade customers to build their own brand”: The company stores the raw materials, which the SMB customers order as and when needed, and IPA then delivers to them, or to their clients directly.
