With over 20 years of experience, the company has a network of stores across 55 countries where you’ll find friendly, approachable staff ready to help with all your printing queries.

The Cartridge World franchise concept began in Adelaide in 1996 by Mr. Brain Stokes and Mr. Paul Wheeler. Since then Cartridge World has partnered with franchisee and Master franchisees in 55 countries. It now has over 1,000 operative franchise stores. The network focuses on delivering printing consumables for Laser, Inkjet copiers and multifunctional printers to SME customers. Highest print quality at lower than OEM original prices enable end-users to save up to 40% from the OEM original price. It’s an $80 Billion industry.

In mid 2015, Cartridge World was acquired by Suzhou Goldengreen Technology Co Ltd (SGT), of Suzhou, China. SGT is a world-class photoconductor manufacturer with production capacity of around 90 million units annually. It brings a wealth of technology expertise to Cartridge World. Now Cartridge World is free of debt, has the highest standards of product performance and has new technical innovations, like PrintWorld® to grow its overall market shares on a global stage. After the acquisition the first major investment was to establish a specialized group to handle quality standards, testing and approval and also Intellectual Property rights of patentees in this highly competitive industry. The CW-GPC (Cartridge World Global Procurement Center) investment separates the company from the rest of the industry and is unique within this market sector.

No cost printer programs, Managed Print Services, Printer Repair, Empty cartridge collections for recycling and 3d printers are some of the other innovations provided to Cartridge World’s global customer base. The company won the Global Brand Award for 2016 and was also recognized as DealMaker of the year by the prestigious Franchise Times Magazine earlier this year.
