Polek & Polek

Increasing your Profits Since 1974 

Polek & Polek has been increasing imaging dealers’ profits since 1974. They are a leading distributor of copier, fax, and printer supplies and parts.  They offer an extensive line of OEM and compatible products for use in the most popular brands, including toner, developer, toner cartridges, photoreceptor drums, kits, fusers, cleaning rollers, blades and chip resetters.  To maximize your printer fleet management opportunities, Polek has also partnered with PrintFleet to offer remote monitoring management and discovery suite keys. 

Having been family owned and operated since 1974, the Polek family has a long history of industry involvement. In addition to providing premium quality compatibles and select OEM brands, Polek has truly partnered with their dealers. Their website www.polek.com  provides useful business management concepts through Polek & Polek’s web based newsletters.  Their newsletters provide well written articles by President and CEO Chris Polek that help educate the newer dealers and refresh the memory of seasoned professionals on business concepts that will improve your company’s bottom line.  

In the latest issue Chris Polek asks the reader: How frequently does your inventory turn? How are you liquidating obsolete inventory? How much does inventory space cost? In each case, Chris provides practical suggestions to move your company forward by focusing on a portion of your business that can improve your profitability at no additional cost. 

The Polek & Polek website also offers a talk track for selling compatible supplies.  This useful guide offers common objections and appropriate answers to help the dealer’s marketers sell non-OEM products.  This is another example of how Polek & Polek share their experience with their dealers.     

As Polek & Polek nears their 35^th year in the industry, they understand dealers can reap large profits by making small changes in the way they do business.  They continue to offer new products and services to keep abreast of the ever changing landscape of the imaging industry.   Chris Polek explains, “Each of our employees acknowledges the importance of being ready and able to help each dealer that does business with us.  Our staff has over 175 years of experience providing industry knowledge and the most sought after products.  The more we help our dealers succeed, the stronger we both become.” 

Chris continues, “We also listen to the needs of our clients. Our goal is to provide the products and services that will help them do their job more efficiently.  Polek’s on-line ordering procedure allows dealers to input and save (for future use) the names and addresses they are using for blind drop shipping.  This provides a sense of security knowing all the shipping information is correct.  It saves the purchasing agent and shipping staff time.  It speeds up the freight process and eliminates the need to incur the cost of double freight charges.”   

From the very beginning in 1974, the goal of each Polek & Polek transaction is to save the dealer money that will immediately increase their ability to make the deal.  By providing cost effective alternatives, each purchase from Polek provides value to both the reseller and end-user.   

Listening to the requests of their customers, Polek & Polek has increased their offerings of printer-based products. Hewlett Packard and Kyocera are two of their most popular product lines.  The increase of structured print management programs has enabled dealers to seamlessly transition to the use of quality proven compatible parts and supplies.  A dealer can purchase a compatible cartridge from Polek & Polek (on average) for less than half the cost of what an end-user can purchase an OEM cartridge from Staples or www.hp.com . 

A Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4000 series cartridge (HP# C4127X) can be purchased from Polek & Polek for $43.95.  An end-user buying this HP cartridge from Staples will pay $128.99.  Under this scenario, the independent reseller has $85.04 to allocate between savings to the customer and a generous profit margin to the dealer.   Most dealers can attain 50%+ gross margins over traditional superstore pricing through the purchase of Polek & Polek compatibles. 

Print /scan kits are available for use in Canon, Ricoh, Savin and Lanier. These kits are available at savings of up to 60% over OEM kits.  This lower cost will enable dealers to place more machines by being more competitive in the market. Dealers can also upgrade machines in the field to capture more prints using Polek’s print/scan kits, and they are also helpful for refurbishing and updating used equipment.
