Following last week's announcement from DASCOM, one of the world's leading manufacturers of matrix and thermal printers, that it had acquired the key assets of TallyGenicom AG and TallyGenicom Computerdrucker GmbH, this week sees the formation of DASCOM GB Ltd, based in Basingstoke, Hampshire.

As a subsidiary of DASCOM Europe, the UK office will market the full range of the former TallyGenicom brand of serial, passbook and mobile printers under the ‘Tally' or ‘Tally Dascom' brand names, as well as the former TG 7000 series range of thermal printers. The former TallyGenicom line matrix and laser printer models will continue to be distributed by DASCOM GB Ltd through its sales operations.

In addition to the excellent range of products, DASCOM GB has also recruited a high quality team of people mostly from the former TallyGenicom in the UK, who will bring long-standing expertise and established contacts in order to provide sales, service and marketing support at the new company. Supporting a comprehensive range of serial matrix and thermal printers, including a range of options, consumables and spares for the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia, Benelux, Middle East and Africa regions, the team is headed up by Robin Edwardes, previously Executive Vice President, EMEA at TallyGenicom and now the Managing Director of the new DASCOM GB Ltd.

Commented Edwardes, "I am delighted to be part of this new organisation, whose commitment and forward thinking approach to the market will ensure a successful relationship with its customers. The fact that we have acquired the rights to such a reputable brand as the Tally serial printer range, and have been able to bring on board such an experienced and able team of people to support this brand, means that DASCOM GB Ltd will start from a position of strength. The company's goal to become a global supplier of business printing solutions will be realised sooner rather than later."

Added Christoph Geiger, newly appointed Managing Director of DASCOM Europe GmbH, "The UK company's ability to support and customise printer products in key vertical markets such as logistics & supply chain, retail, manufacturing, government and finance will underpin the success of DASCOM Europe."

The company looks forward to a further strengthening of its serial, mobile and thermal printer ranges, and, in the near future, to the establishment of other new offices and partners throughout EMEA.
