Toshiba America Business Solutions, Inc. (http://business.toshiba.com), a leading managed document services (MDS) provider and business printing solutions innovator today expands its domestic distributor channel by partnering with leading IT supplies wholesaler and managed print services company, Supplies Network.

Supplies Network - located in Saint Louis - will provide the imaging innovator's award-winning e-STUDIO^TM multifunction products (MFPs) to Toshiba's Business Products Center partners and authorized dealers.  Under terms of the agreement, Supplies Network also offers related accessories and pre-and-post sale support to the office product dealers.   

Toshiba Business Products Centers are smaller, independent businesses - which complement the company's larger Toshiba Business Solutions and authorized independent dealer networks.  Through its partnership with Supplies Network, these smaller office product companies may now sell high-performance MFPs while providing a more comprehensive array of imaging solutions to its clientele. 

Toshiba Business Products Center partners and all other authorized dealers have access to the Toshiba's comprehensive dealer support website, "FYI," presenting companies with a full library of sales and service training materials, complete product specs and technical support documents. 

"By adding Supplies Network to our existing distributor channel, we are able to expand the support of our Toshiba Business Products Center partners and other authorized dealers by outfitting these companies with an array of robust A3 and A4 imaging devices," said Tom Walter, director, aftermarket sales, marketing and operations at Toshiba America Business Solutions.  "In turn, our sales partners are now able to transition their small-to-medium sized business users from lower-performing printing devices to top-shelf MFPs to further enhance their customers' return on investment."

"We are excited to partner with Toshiba America Business Solutions and expand our hardware presence in the United States.," said Monte White, Vice President of Product Marketing at Supplies Network. "I'm confident this expanded partnership will provide benefits for Toshiba, Supplies Network, and all of the reseller partners we work with."
