HP hands Scitex distributorship to Alloys

HP appoints the distributorship of its HP Scitex commercial printers and consumables to Alloys.

CPI still maintains its distributorship for the industrail range for machines and inks as well as being a re-seller for commercial inks and machines after HP last year announced that it would take direct responsibility for the service and support functions for the industrial range, enabling CPI to focus solely on providing sales and marketing solutions to its customer base. Now, Alloys has been chosen as distributor for HP’s Scitex commercial printers, inks and medias and HP Designjet consumables.

According to Shane Lucas, director of HP Graphic Arts South Pacific, the company was chosen for its commitment to HP. “Alloys has been very positive and shown very strong commitment to HP and our graphics portfolio through the process and I feel extremely pleased with the outcome,” he said.

CEO of Alloys, Paul Harman, said that the deal will also mean hiring three new staff to service the market. “We will be applying all of our non-traditional distribution methodology to selling and supporting the product with the channel and will give this line the sort of specialist attention it requires. This includes appointing three further staff to address the aspects of this market.  We believe we will expand the number of opportunities that HP can be involved in with this product line," he added.
