Katun® Corporation Introduces Katun® Staples  for use in a Wide Range of Popular Copiers and MFPs

Katun® and Swingline® introduce a new line of cost-effective, high-quality Katun® Performance™ staples for European markets

MINNEAPOLIS — (May 2010) — Katun Corporation, the world’s leading alternative supplier to the office equipment industry, is pleased to launch a new line of Katun® Performance™ staples compatible with a wide range of machine applications. Partnering with Swingline, a trusted name in stapling for over 80 years, Katun provides its European dealer / distributor customers with a new and growing line of staples providing OEM-equivalent performance and significant long-term savings versus OEM staples – across a wide range of OEM models, including Canon, Konica Minolta, Ricoh, Sharp, and Toshiba machines.

“This line of Katun® Performance™ staples utilizes an exclusive, easy-to-install cartridge design that offers OEM-equivalent performance to the end-user,” says Bob Moore, vice president of product development. “The design is the result of extensive collaborative efforts and testing by Katun and Swingline to ensure consistent and reliable performance. In addition, these new staples have been extensively tested to ensure compatibility in most of the current and popular OEM sorter/finishers available in the European marketplace. Like the OEM staples, Katun® Performance™ staples utilize sharp chisel points that provide excellent paper penetration and reduce the potential of jams and mis-staples.”

As with all Katun® Performance™ products, these staples may be ordered via the Katun Online Catalog – Katun’s one-stop Internet resource that allows registered customers to locate and order thousands of Katun products while accessing real-time information about their orders and accounts. Customers can access the Katun Online Catalog at staging.katun.com/eu.
