Their management has a great track record for building channels, which will greatly support our solutions,” said Rosemarie Zito. “Talk Technology has extensive knowledge of the local landscape and with their well-trained partner base will help drive our business within the region.”
Talk Technology will distribute the complete Printronix product offerings, which includes their premium Thermal print solutions.
