Clover, one of the world’s largest remanufacturers of ink cartridges and toner cartridges, is under pressure from cheap Chinese newbuilt supplies. The company is now implementing measures to increase efficiency.
(Translated)
Accordingly, the main production will be completely relocated to Mexico. Clover Serbia will continue to manufacture toner cartridges for the EMEA market, but the important plant in Vietnam will be completely converted to other products. For example, household goods are to be manufactured there from bio-based plastics. The concentration of ink and toner cartridges in Mexico means that Mark Perry, Managing Director of Clover Imaging Europe, told BusinessPartner PBS that “we manufacture our products by taking advantage of economies of scale, thereby reducing manufacturing and distribution costs to keep prices competitive “.At the same time, more efficient and less complicated supply chains are used, which is an advantage against the background of the stagnant logistics chains. “The key, however, is availability,” further explains Perry. In Europe, Clover has had to invest heavily in very large inventories to be able to meet fluctuating demand for shipments in different countries and through different channels.
