R-JET TEK & OCP FORM OCP-USA
Colorado Springs CO---R-Jet Tek and OCP have formed a joint venture
"OCP-USA Inc., to snag a share of the premium ink jet ink market in
North America.
R-Jet Tek is a leading manufacturer of automated ink jet cartridge
processing systems and manufacturing supplies. OCP GmbH, head-quartered in
Hattingen, Germany is a leading ink manufacturer in
Europe. The new venture OCP-USA is owned equally by the respective
companies and individual investors and will be headquartered in Colorado
Springs, CO.
In announcing the joint venture Steve Johnson, President of R-Jet Tek
said, "We are delighted to be able to participate jointly with OCP.
They have an excellent reputation for producing the highest
quality ink and are highly respected in the industry. We look forward to
offering OCP ink "made in America" to our customers."
OCP's President Herr Horst Edelmeier said, "We expect to garner
a
significant share of the desktop ink market in the USA just as we have
done throughout the European community". Edelmeier said the high cost
of freight and the absence of a US partner has kept their
primary production in Europe, Asia and Africa. "Now we will be able
to offer products through OCP-USA in perhaps the largest market in the
World".
The manufacturing facility and production will be under the direction of
Dr. Siegfreid Koch, a founding partner of OCP and 20 year veteran of Geha
and Pelikan where he was Head of Research and
Development. All formulas are those of OCP.
Mike Warner, VP-Sales, expressed optimism of the deal for R-Jet Tek. He
said, "While the market is competitive it is ready for this premium
quality ink". He is especially optimistic about
acceptance of the pigment inks for the HP29 and 45 cartridges and the
Lexmark 12A1970. These inks are formulated to work in previously used
cartridges while meeting stringent OEM
characteristics. "Now we can offer our Fluidix equipment, supplies,
and OCP-USA ink."
Both OCP and R-Jet Tek will be exhibiting at Recharger Magazine WORLD EXPO
in the Grande Ballroom booths 21-22 and 44-49 respectively. Additional
information may be obtained during
WORLD EXPO or by contacting Horst Edelmeier at 49-232492070 email
