    Europe's ECS Aquires Cartridge Remanufacturing Firm Tinto
    ECS Accelerates Strategic Growth with Acquisition
    of Cartridge Remanufacturing firm Tinto.

    Misterton, South Yorkshire, UK.  19th March 2014.– Effective Consumable Solutions (ECS), the independent distributor of copier and printer consumables throughout the UK and Europe, has today announced that it has acquired Tinto Laser Services and its recycling division GreenAgenda, the highly respected remanufacturer of laser printer cartridges in Europe, which had become insolvent in January.

    This key acquisition will see ECS – one of only four nationwide independents in a rapidly growing UK sector – merge with Tinto’s cartridge production operation, enhancing the company’s specialist capabilities in that area and underlining its determination to increase market share through a blend of organic growth and acquisition.

    Representing an early landmark in the company’s strategic plan to significantly expand and strengthen its recycling division, the investment will see ECS’s strong recurring revenues and all former Tinto skilled staff join the ECS brand with immediate effect although the business will remain an independent division.

    ECS Director Chris Fink stated: “We are delighted to be joining forces with such a leading technical business. Tinto represents a fantastic opportunity for ECS to achieve its next level of ambitious growth, with a business that understands the technology and quality necessary to fulfil an ever challenging sector within the toner supplies industry and also has the vision to see us become Europe’s largest cartridge remanufacturing business.”

    “With ample capital resources available and revenues increasing across the business it is no secret that we are proactively seeking service-led acquisitions to supplement the company’s existing capabilities. I am delighted to announce the completion of the Tinto deal, which I anticipate will be the first of many as ECS continues its strategic evolution.” said Financial Director Fran Rabbitte.

    “Whilst ECS has invested in its UK distribution centre, recycling schemes, technical infrastructure and production capabilities, Tinto brings a best-of-breed reputation and an experienced quality driven workforce operation to a complete service proposition that now embraces everything from production and innovation to cartridge recycling for public and private sector businesses.” said Chief Executive Felicity Rabbitte.

    Founded in 1992, Tinto is a prominent independent nationwide laser toner cartridge remanufacturer in a sector growing at around c23% pa. Recognised by clients and competitors alike as the leading visionary within the toner cartridge industry Tinto has the reputation of being the best in the business.
