Cartridge Depot Franchise for Sale
Business to Business From: R715000

All Provinces

Cartridge Depot, re-manufactures, imports, distributes and sells printer cartridges under their own Registered Trademark brand (Eclipse™) and Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) printer cartridges, as well as complementing products like printing paper and memory devices through their network of Cartridge Depot stores and online through the Cartridge Depot website.

Cartridge Depot also gives back to the environment by offering remanufactured Eclipse™ printer cartridges – which are also up to 60% cheaper than OEM cartridges. By encouraging customers to make the switch, the carbon footprint per printer cartridge is reduced by approximately 2.5kg of CO2 emission and 3 liters of crude oil. All Cartridge Depot stores also offer recycling bins to encourage customers to recycle their old printer cartridges.

Production, Inventory, Distribution, Marketing, Business Support Functions, Digital Marketing and Logistics are managed and controlled from the Head Office.

Franchise Details

Cartridge Depot started in the mid-1990s. From humble beginnings where the business was started in a garage, it now operates out the Head office located at N4 Gateway Industrial Park, 190 Rooiberg Street, Willow Park Manor X65 in the east of Pretoria.

On 21 December 2015 Cartridge Depot shareholding was purchased by Tanditrix (Pty) Ltd, an investment company with Frank de Ornelas, Manny de Canha and Martin Schermers as shareholders. Manny and Martin are the appointed directors of Cartridge Depot and are directly involved in day-to-day management. Cartridge Depot was converted from a Close Corporation (“CC”) to a private company (“(Pty) Ltd”) on 7 December 2015.

At the date of the transaction, there were 13 Stores. Since the acquisition, the network has grown to 27 Stores (20 self-owned and 7 franchises).

Cartridge Depot is ideally positioned to expand its network of Stores nationally drawing on the following:

  • Well-established business and brand, drawing on the rich experience of operating own growing network of Stores
  • Solid foundation, with regards to operating procedures, policies, and support functions
  • Well-developed Financial controls and Systems
  • Product and Service offering that has an excellent track record and value proposition
