Katun Corporation Launches Major Expansion Into OEM-Compatible Toner for Color Copiers and Multi-Function Devices
Expansion Also to Include Parts and Other Supplies for Color Machines; More Than 50 New Products for Color Expected During 2007
MINNEAPOLIS,
Nov. 06– Katun Corporation, the world’s leading alternative supplier
to the office equipment industry, today unveiled plans for a
significant expansion of its product portfolio supporting color copiers
and multi-function devices — with the first of a new line of color
toner products slated for introduction later this year. The company
also expects to expand its line of other parts and supplies for color
machines.In November, Katun introduced Katun Performance brand color
toners for the Ricoh Aficio 2228C/2232C/2238C series of digital
copier/printers, which will be followed in coming months by color
toners for some of today’s most popular machines from Ricoh, Canon,
Konica Minolta, and Toshiba. Like most Katun products, the new color
toner products will offer proven, tested OEM compatibility at
significant savings compared to OEM-branded products.”We’re going to
offer color toner customers and their end users a proven alternative
that will help them reduce their cost per page,” said Carlyle Singer,
president and CEO. “With color output increasing every year and
customers demanding high-quality color in office applications, the time
is right to expand our commitment to this growing market. We’re pleased
to offer color toner customers a compelling choice from a trusted
brand.”The longtime leading supplier of OEM-equivalent monochrome
toners worldwide, Katun intends to bring to the color toner market the
same commitment to quality and value for which it has been known for
more than 27 years.Katun’s team of chemists, engineers, technicians and
other specialists have recently added new capabilities and equipment at
the company’s 90,000 square foot Research and Development Testing
Facility, enabling the company to apply stringent and comprehensive
tests for quality, yields, compatibility and other important color
toner product performance attributes. Given the complexity of the color
xerography process, the company expects this rigorous approach to
quality to be a key advantage in this marketplace.
