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
