May 21, 2004 -- Cartridge Express Ltd was established in Leeds in 2003.Our registered office is on Vicar Lane. We are dedicated to supplying the highest quality printer supplies with a customer service and support department to match. We provide a massive range of high quality compatible inkjet and laser cartridges, original cartridges, ribbons, paper and much more.

Customer base
Our large customer base consists of retail customers, resellers, local and national businesses as well as government and educational institutions. We are their preferred supplier because we use the latest technology to remanufacture cartridges at our on site facility, providing a quality service with same day shipping and our personal guarantee of satisfaction.

All our premium printer cartridges are made with specially calibrated inks and toners and use an advanced filling system to ensure quality that is equal to or in some cases exceeds that of the original manufacturers. The blacks are black the colours are vibrant and with a defective rate of well under 1%, the performance is second to none.

One Step Ahead
Our cartridges are remanufactured using only the best quality empty cartridges and go through our secret testing and cleaning process, filled to the maximum capacity then re-tested prior to despatch. All cartridges are delivered free of charge to UK mainland addresses and are guaranteed to perform to your complete satisfaction or your money back.

At Cartridge Express Ltd we recognise that inkjet technology is rapidly changing which is why we have invested thousands of pounds into research and machinery to ensure we stay ahead of the rest in this fast changing industry.

Competitors
Do not confuse Cartridge Express Ltd with some of our competitors. We only use top grade inks, the correct components and the most advanced filling method in the industry which makes us one of the UK's leading manufactures.

As well as remanufacturing our own products and supplying a range of office supplies we also operate an empties collection programme which not only provides us with valuable raw material for our process, but helps to benefit three local charities through our Cartridge Recycling scheme.

E-commerce
The latest addition to our company is our e-commerce website ‘http://www.cartridgeexpress.net.' Our easy to navigate website offers all the benefits of trading with us without having to leave the comfort of home or the office.

The Future
Our future objectives are to organically grow the business on all fronts and continue to gain a well respected foothold within our industry with a view to franchising the retail side of our operation. We have been identified by West Yorkshire Ventures as a ‘High Growth' company with ‘serious potential'.

Cartridge Express Recycling Scheme
We recycle most inkjet and toner cartridges, we offer a free collection and sorting service. Over 30 million used cartridges are dumped in UK landfill sites every year, apart from the unacceptable environmental issues how much hard cash we could have donated to charity had we recycled these dumped cartridges.
    
The Charities
The charities we support are chosen for many reasons. Each in their own way are doing very difficult jobs, providing a service which is both valuable and much needed.

Considering the difference these charities make to people and the families they become involved with it is a sad fact that every year they have a financial short fall and have to rely on donations. Please take a moment to read about the important roles our chosen charities do right here in our communities.

Our Aims for the Charities
Our aims are simply to help raise much needed funds by recycling your empty cartridges. Unlike other companies we do not offer a low price across the range. We pay a fair structured price from 50p to £5 depending on the type of cartridge plus we donate £5 for every new company that joins our scheme with a £10 bonus if the new company decides to order our remanufactured products.

Our Aims for you
Should you decide to join our scheme we offer a fast free collection service. We provide collection boxes for your empty cartridges. We can collect weekly, monthly or bi-monthly. Once your empties reach our depot they will be sorted and payment forwarded to your chosen charity who will contact you with their thanks. If for whatever reason you have a charity which you feel strongly for you can still join our scheme and we will donate to them on your behalf.

What's in it for us?
Your empty cartridge may be rubbish to you but to us it is raw material. We need the empty cartridges for our remanufacturing process, it's that simple. It also gives us the chance to go out and meet different companies who could turn out to be potential new clients for us. Added to this we get a real buzz knowing we are doing our bit to help the charities as well helping the environment for future generations.

On a final note
We are a local company sponsoring local charities, we hope you decide to join our scheme and help us to make a difference. I look forward to speaking to you soon
