The service, a first for Canada, will allow 3D printers to be made accessible to everyone
Tinkerine Studios Ltd. (TSXV:TTD and OTC Pink: TKSTF), Canada's leading manufacturer and distributor of 3D printers, today announced a partnership with PrinterWorks, one of Western Canada's largest independent Managed Print Services companies. Per the Dealer and Partnership agreement, PrinterWorks will use Tinkerine's newest DittoPro printers to provide "managed 3D printing services" to its stable of corporate and enterprise accounts in Canada.
The move further defines and reinforces Tinkerine's strong market position within the 3D printing services industry by offering Tinkerine Service Depots for its 3D printers nationwide. The company is also happy to announce that it will be now offering an industry first one-year warranty and extended warranty program to support this initiative. Consumers will now be able to go to PrinterWorks as a one-stop shop for all their 3D printing needs. Additionally, the company expects this partnership to enhance sales by making the product and filament more readily accessible to existing Tinkerine and PrinterWorks clients and new customers across Canada.
"Partnering with PrinterWorks allows us to continue to leverage the power of 3D print managed services as a significant part of future revenue. PrinterWorks has a tremendous track record in providing managed print services to some of Western Canada's biggest school districts, private and public health care, and services organizations, with best in class print managed solutions that both control and manage overall printing costs. For Tinkerine, there is a natural tie in to the school districts and other customers that PrinterWorks supports and services," commented Tinkerine CEO, Eugene Suyu. "We think there is a real opportunity in the market now to offer high performance, reliable and affordable hardware, dedicated service (training), and unparalleled technical support to 3DP customers" added Suyu.
"PrinterWorks has always been on the leading edge of providing innovative printer and copier solutions to our clients; we remain the leading independent provider of Managed Print Services to Enterprise level clients in Western Canada. The addition of 3D printing technologies to our mix is an exciting leap forward into the future of our industry! Our service, sales, and distribution infrastructures are ideally suited to compliment Tinkerine's presence in the growing 3D printing market. From "go-to-market" strategies, distribution models, vision, and corporate culture - the many synergies our organizations share make Tinkerine a natural partner for PrinterWorks," stated Stefano Walker, PrinterWorks VP Sales & Marketing.
This partnership is exciting for both parties as Tinkerine and PrinterWorks are dedicated in providing the best experience for all consumers.
