IT Voice) Compared to other industry members, what are the strengths of your company?
Mr. Rohit: JET TEC is directly associated with Internationally reputed manufacturers like Mitsubishi (MK Imaging), Jadi and many more unlike other suppliers.

It is the consistency of supply and quality of material along with competitive prices gives us an edge over competition. JET TEC has its own office across India which ensures that material availability across India reducing the transit time for customers requirement.
IT Voice) In your opinion, what is the most difficult problem facing the industry? Where can we find opportunity and hope?
Mr. Rohit: We are seeing that a lot of refillers are providing onsite service to customer at cheaper rates. Customers get easily lured by cheaper price and more when given an option of refilling at their premises. In the process, they are required to compromise the quality for their own survival.
Due to this, Customers get very poor quality from a refilled cartridge and they tend to think they Recycled / Remanufactured products are of poor quality which not the truth. Many of them even switch back to using OEM Cartridges. So, educating customers about the difference in Refilling and Quality Recycled / Remanufactured Cartridges and bringing them back to using these products is a big challenge. We are doing our best to educate customers about the difference in Quality and Performance JET TEC Cartridges and it is showing results. Still, there is a long way to go.
