Cartridge.co.za, one of SA`s fastest growing consumables resellers, is proud to announce its partnership in the formation of a new black empowered consumable supply company, called Inkosa Consumables (Pty) Ltd.
In an effort to create real empowerment, Cartridge.co.za has partnered with HDI qualifying staff originally from within its own organisation, to form a genuinely black-owned enterprise, which is comprised of a 51% black ownership.
As a newly formed business there was no purchasing of shares required, which effectively meant the previously disadvantaged shareholders will be able to see immediate benefits of strong company performance. To ensure good performance, shareholders are currently undergoing up-skilling programmes and training, and various forms of support will be given through Cartridge.co.za.
Initially, Inkosa Consumables will share premises with Cartridge.co.za, because of the importance of infrastructure and logistics, and to minimise starting capital costs. This decision also ensures that corporate and government sectors do not have to be concerned with the typical problems associated with BEE start-up business which often do not have the infrastructure to provide the level of service that larger organisations require.
Inkosa Consumables has registered with the relevant distribution channels, ensuring it also complies with BEE requirements, and will initially concentrate on offering solutions on consumable management to larger organisations.
Inkosa Consumables has already received a business boost by signing up supplier agreements in both the corporate and government sectors.
