Printacom appoints Drive Control Corporation as distributor

OKI Printing Solutions is pleased to announce the appointment of Drive Control as a new local distributor.

“We've had dealings with Drive Control for many years,” says Printacom sales and business development manager, Martin Venter, “and because of their focus on their supply-chain, they're one of the nation's leading distributors of branded IT and consumer electronics products.

“The company's experience and expertise in reaching a portion of the reseller market that Printacom currently does not have access to was particularly encouraging,” he adds, “and this means that the relationship with Drive Control is sure to be a successful one,” Venter continues.

“This appointment is important for OKI because it allows us to expand our reach into new sectors of the market, to create heightened awareness around our brand and thus far, we're very pleased with the results of this undertaking,” he says.

Linsay Narayanan, OKI product specialist at Drive Control, says the distribution deal has enabled the company to expand its current offering to resellers and bring dot matrix and line printers into its portfolio, a first for Drive Control.

“The addition of impact printers to our current offering will not only open up new opportunities for us, but will also allow our resellers to leverage these new markets,” she says.

“And since OKI printers carry three-year warranties and benefit from 11 dedicated repair centres across South Africa, with several smaller independent repair centres also able to service these ranges, the value proposition is strong,” she says.

“We look forward to a long-lasting working relationship with Drive Control, and trust that it will continue to be mutually-beneficial and fruitful for all those involved, including our resellers,” Venter concludes.
