Sterling Capital Announces New Partnership

PRAGUE, Czech Republic — Newly incorporated wholesale distribution company Sterling Capital s.r.o. secured the sole distribution rights to the Colorprint and Trucolor brands of new compatible and remanufactured inkjet cartridges. This comprehensive range of inkjet products includes cartridges for most of the popular printer models including Hewlett-Packard, Canon, Epson and Lexmark. With a proven range of products that have been widely available throughout Europe and North America for many years, this is the first major launch into the growing CEE market. The company is planning a number of promotional support programs to help boost sales and profits. “Whether you’re a major dealer, e-shop or retail outlet, we have a support package specially tailored to your needs,” said Simon Shekyls, spokesperson.

No newcomer to the demands of the imaging and aftermarket consumable business in Central and Eastern Europe, British co-founder Shekyls is an imaging industry veteran, having spent 10 years in business-to-business sales in the U.K. Partner Jan Sekula has acted as a business consultant and e-commerce specialist for several major Czech banks and IT companies.

Following the announcement, Shekyls said, “Despite strong competition from well-established local wholesalers, it was our gritty determination, youth and unwavering commitment to delight customers that won the day for us. We have a very clear understanding of our critical success factors in this dynamic and highly competitive market — at the core, it’s the people we invest in that work with our customers and suppliers. Profit through partnership really sums up our business approach.”
