Day 3 at the show was, thankfully, a little quieter and an opportunity to have more detailed and in-depth visitor and client discussions.
Day three of the show closed on a high note for one exhibitor who closed a deal to supply a Brazilian customer with toner for their 25,000 MPS printer fleet. Sadly, until the ink is dry on the contract they asked for privacy. “This is just one example of the conversations that are taking place across the hall today,” said Stefanie Unland, The Recycler’s Editor and Publisher. Sebastian from Munich said: “I think the show is a little quieter today than yesterday which is a good thing because I have been able to have good meetings with my suppliers and meet with some of my remanufacturing customers.”
Toko who were located on the Apex both were busy demonstrating their Unismart Chip reset service and had a busy day and judging by the number of Unismart boxes in the hall, they have successfully converted more remanufacturers to the reset system.
The brand new Katun booth was busy as usual. Katun have had a good 2019 and is starting the new decade with a focus on innovation and a new fresh approach and marketing strategy to engage the market. UK based Data Direct were again busy as visitors wanted to know more regarding the announcement about their link up with CET.
Static Control’s booth remained busy throughout the day. Static Control’s CEO, Ken Lalley shared: “We love embracing this opportunity to connect with customers face-to-face and hear their business needs. As a full-range supplier of both components and cartridges, we offer a unique conversation with remanufacturers. Many of our discussions have been geared toward helping customers compete against low-quality cartridges that offer no real value to consumers. Static Control can offer something that offers quality, reliability and most importantly, can keep businesses competitive. Overall for the show, all the feedback has been positive from both the visitors to the stand that I’ve spoken with along with our staff working the stand.”
Biuromax unveiled their new “You First” rebranding on their newly designed and busy everyday booth.

It’s not just you, it’s the US as well and Charles Brewer, President, Actionable Intelligence knows the North American market. His presentation, entitled “Understanding Today’s Increasingly Diverse North American Consumables Market” looked at the increasingly complex supplies markets for home and office devices in the region and examine how hardware manufacturers are developing new go-to-market plans that allow them to compete more effectively with third-party supplies vendors.
