Coates Electrographics, Sun Chemical’s toner manufacturing company, has acquired the bulk toner manufacturing business of Turbon International, York, PA. With this acquisition, Coates Electrographics continues to grow its position as a leading global toner producer with operations in Dallas, PA, York, PA and Midsomer Norton, U.K.
“While Turbon will cease to manufacture toner powder, it will continue its presence as a market leader in the manufacture, sales and distribution of components, as well as finished products for the printer supplies industry,” said Richard Martin, managing director, Coates Electrographics. “The arrangement between Turbon and Sun Chemical (through Coates) will build upon the successful relationship that has existed for some time between the two companies, and will provide a continuing supply of high quality bulk toner to Turbon on a worldwide basis,” he added.
Coates Electrographics will lease a portion of Turbon’s York facility. The purchase also includes Turbon’s toner technology, which will further strengthen Coates’ prominent technical position in the toner marketplace, according to the company.
The York operation will continue to be headed by Dr. Claude Aubert, a veteran of the toner industry, who will report directly to Ian Gammage, global general manager of Coates’ toner businesses.
