Pantum has selected Image Star as its authorized distributor for the United States. Through this partnership, Image Star will support Pantum's U.S. dealers with inventory, distribution and drop-ship fulfillment services across Pantum's full line of printers and consumable supplies.

Pantum is a fast-growing printer manufacturer with a strong global presence and a rapidly growing customer base. Its products and commitment to quality have helped Pantum become one of the top players in the printing industry. Since its founding in 2010, Pantum has achieved rapid growth in Asia-Pacific, Africa and Latin America, and is now poised to scale its operations in North America. Pantum is investing in U.S.-based sales, marketing and operational infrastructure to grow and support its burgeoning network of channel partners.

"Pantum's product development record, robust supply chain and industry-leading value proposition position us for strong growth in the U.S. market," said Kyan Liao, deputy sales director, Pantum. "After successful launches in more than 110 countries in the past 12 years, we have the experience and capability to build the Pantum brand and scale our sales operations in the U.S."

Pantum's distributor partnership with Image Star will tap into Image Star's nationwide distribution network, deep client relationships, IT and service capabilities, and Suite Fleet managed print program to provide best-in-class distribution support for dealers. Image Star clients will benefit from access to Pantum's full product lineup, channel development program support and after-sale services only available through OEM-authorized distribution.

"Pantum is the first new brand launch in the printing industry in many years and represents a rare blue ocean opportunity for dealers," said Philip Crean, chief commercial officer, Image Star.
