Brand Management Group
Brand Management Group (BMG) is a business initiative we started in 2012 to assume the takeover of the KODAK and Hewlett Packard inkjet media efforts.
At its inception, BMG was formed to design, manufacture and sell the KODAK brand of wide-format printing materials to resellers worldwide. Citing the initial success of the BMG/KODAK relationship, BMG was awarded the sole license from Hewlett Packard to assume the wide-format inkjet media business that was being conducted by an HP group for 15 years. BMG licensed the HP brand and took over the sales of HP-branded printing supplies for use in HP latex printers, commencing May 1, 2013. In 2014, BMG licensed the HP Technical and Graphics media lines, expanding the business geographically into APAC and EMEA.
Today, Brand Management Group specializes in research, development, marketing and supply chain management, bringing unequaled speed-to-market and innovative technologies to the global marketplace. As a global licensing company, BMG works in close partnership with the world’s major brands represented by BMG by providing the worldwide network of resellers and end user customers with unparalleled logistics, marketing and product support.
BMG has sales representation located in the United States, Germany, Belgium, Russia, United Kingdom, Spain, Singapore and Australia. BMG supports the Canadian customers through its warehouse location in Toronto with sales support from the U.S. sales group.
BMG markets and delivers products to 84 countries and currently has the ability to invoice customers in seven currencies while communicating in nine languages.
DIGIPRINT SUPPLIES
DIGIPRINT SUPPLIES is a one-stop online shop offering spare parts, accessories, software and tools for all brands of eco-solvent, solvent and UV digital wide-format printers. An industry pioneer, they were the first company in the world to offer dedicated online solutions to this market niche. A supplier of value and information, they share knowledge with you, so that you can continue to build profit.
An early digital revolutionary, they recognised the ease and power of the Internet to change the way most wide-format printer parts, tools and accessories could be purchased. Prior to the launch of DIGIPRINT SUPPLIES, it was impossible to freely purchase original parts, tools and accessories for different wide-format printer brands from a central source.
DIGIPRINT SUPPLIES sells original parts for all brands of wide format digital printers, all of which come with the manufacturer’s warranty. We also sell high quality generic parts, which are engineered in Europe and extensively tested, very clearly labeled and sold under their own brand name. These carry the same warranty as the OEM products.
LexJet
LexJet has been serving the digital-printing community since 1994 when many photo labs, reprographers, quick printers, prepress service bureaus, sign makers and others first started to explore the many ways they could use wide-format color inkjet printers. LexJet sells its own proprietary highly recognized brand as well as OEM products directly to end-users.
In addition to being one of the top companies in North America selling inkjet printers, inks and materials from companies such as HP, Canon and Epson, LexJet designs and develops its own brand of imaging materials to resolve some of the unique production challenges identified by our customers.
LexJet designs, oversees manufacturing, markets and sells professional-grade, LexJet-branded wide-format inkjet printing materials and supplies to more than 20,000 printing, imaging and sign businesses in North America using a direct-to-end user model.
LexJet provides business owners with the knowledge and products they need to convert digital images into new forms of visual merchandising, out-of-home advertising and custom décor. LexJet products are used to create dozens of products, including: tradeshow graphics; point-of-purchase, retail and event signage; museum exhibits; fine-art reproductions and photo prints on canvas; custom wallcovering; murals and other applications.
The direct-to-end user model was the first of its kind in the inkjet community in 1994. LexJet’s growth over the past 25 years reflects how effective we have been in helping businesses successfully adopt new technologies, create innovative products and diversify into new markets.
Operating distribution centers nationwide in the U.S. and in Canada, LexJet offers its customers two-day delivery at no cost to them for freight.
The convenience of online ordering and fast delivery is backed by a promise that customers can always talk with friendly, knowledgeable people whenever they have questions or concerns.
S-One Labels & Packaging
S-One Labels & Packaging (S-OneLP) is the newest and fastest-growing division under the S-One group of companies. Officially launched as a separate business unit in 2018, it is the exclusive provider of Michelman in-line and off-line primers in the U.S., Canada and EMEA to Hewlett Packard Indigo digital printers. As a result of this product line, every HP Indigo printer is an S-OneLP customer.
S-OneLP has implemented a channel partner model that includes promoting brands at the application level that communicates accurate and customized information directly to the key converters producing the packaging. In addition, S-OneLP is the single source for technical information and provides products to the end user with low minimum requirements and in shorter lead times, which was heretofore unavailable in this market space.
Working with manufacturing partners to take redundant costs out of the channel, S-OneLP acts as an extension of the brands’ main sales force providing open communication on key customer requirements and new product needs.
This new-to-the-industry model helps the manufacturing partners plan more effective capacity and product development while providing an expanded portfolio of best-in-class and cutting-edge products for the digitally printed labels and flexible packaging undertaken on HP Indigo presses. The partners include major manufacturers, such as Toray, CharterNex, Futamura, Michelman, Kustom Group and VerifyMe.
S-OneLP is using this integrated approach to be one of the first companies to offer sustainable surface print and protection solutions to the digitally printed flexible packaging market. This is in major demand in the markets for coffee, tea, organic foods and cannabis.
