Our Core Business
Cartridge World's core business is the refilling and recharging of printer cartridges and the retailing of new printer & printer consumables. Our shop fronts are painted in bright colours, we offer a while-u-wait service and most importantly we also offer the consumer a 100% money back warranty on all our recharged cartridges whilst helping to save the environment.
Our aggressive expansion plans for the future with public education, the future is bright and prosperous for Cartridge World, its franchisees, customers and the environment.
Currently Cartridge World has over 2000 stores worldwide, located in 51 countries.
In India we have over 90 franchisees and over 75 stores operational
Our Customer Base is Growing
Market research shows that more than 70%* of people globally currently throw away their used cartridges and buy new ones. Imagine what this means in terms of the growth potential of our industry as more and more people realise they can have their cartridges refilled AND save upto 50% on the cost of a new one.
At Cartridge World the slowdown has catalyzed our growth process. Even the staunchest 'OEM only' user is now ready to give us a chance as cost cutting becomes imperative. The presence of a globally established brand which offers guaranteed service helps them take this first step more reassuringly
