Cartridge
World Announces Additional Expansion into South America
December
7, 2007 - Emeryville, CA –
Cartridge World, the world’s fastest growing ink cartridge
refill franchise concept, has announced its additional expansion
plans for South America. The company has announced that it has
awarded the Master franchise rights to Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay
to Diego Albanell.
With years of successful experience in
commercial and financial operational strategies and logistics
Albanell joins the Cartridge World team with a wealth of knowledge
and experience to service and support future franchisees.
By the end of 2008 the company plans for
two Cartridge World locations in Uruguay, three in Argentina
and one in Paraguay. By the end of 2012, five stores are planned
for Uruguay, more than 25 in Argentina and three locations
in Paraguay.
“I believe Cartridge World will
be a success in this region because consumers and businesses
are willing to find an excellent quality ink and toner option
at an affordable price,” said Albanell. “Our service
will educate consumers on ways to save money and help the environment.”
Cartridge World, which opened its first
franchise location in Adelaide, Australia in 1997, is the first
retail cartridge refilling concept to take on manufacturing
giants such as HP, Lexmark and Canon while offering cost-saving
solutions for consumers and businesses on the traditionally
inflated costs of printer and toner cartridges.
“With 1,600 stores across 63 countries,
it is clear that consumers and businesses have an appreciation
for alternatives to expensive ink and toner cartridges,” said
Burt Yarkin, CEO of Cartridge World. “Having grown to
700 stores in three years, the quick success of Cartridge World
throughout the United States proves that the company is ready
to expand further into the South American markets. We’re
thrilled to have Diego on our team.”
Cartridge World refills empty ink and
toner cartridges for inkjet printers, laser printers, fax machines
and photocopiers with top quality, brand-specific ink and toner
and at the same time offers consumers and businesses up to
a 50 percent savings, a money back service guarantee and helps
the environment by keeping used cartridges out of landfills.
“Cartridge World is an example of
a perfect retail model that is able to cross cultures,” Yarkin
added. “There are billions of printers and office equipment
around the world—all will eventually need replacement
ink and toner. We offer entrepreneurs a proven business model
that has international brand awareness. For consumers and businesses,
Cartridge World offers a safe, less expensive option for their
increasing ink and toner needs.”
Cartridge World has expanded into the
countries of India, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia
and the Caribbean. The company is also seeking Master Franchisees
throughout South America and various countries in Asia and
Europe. .
