Hong Kong (June 30, 2017) — Print-Rite, a leader in the manufacturing of printing consumables supplies, and Pelikan, a heritage worldwide known brand from Germany, have formed a 30-year licensing agreement.
Effective July 1, Print-Rite will have the exclusive rights to manufacture high quality, unique patent safe cartridges using the Pelikan Brand.
Pelikan Hardcopy will transfer all current trading to two new companies, one in Germany and the other in France, both of which will trade as PRP Solutions.

Pelikan has a strong reputation in the European market as a supplier of high quality, IP safe aftermarket printer consumables, and Print-Rite was considered the obvious and best partner in the industry able to maintain and enhance this reputation. Print-Rite has more than 2,600 patents and operates with an emphasis on quality and non-infringing IP products at the highest level.
“This is an important strategic collaboration for the two highly reputable companies,” said Arnald Ho, founding chairman of the Print-Rite Group. “We expect to deliver more superior and reliable products with this powerful agreement, a new chapter of the whole compatible hard copy supply industry has opened.”
