Patrick Naude has been in the printer cartridge recycling industry since 1996 when he opened 2 branches on behalf of South Africa’s largest recycler, at the time—Royce Imaging. 5 years later, Naude started to remanufacture his own brand of laser and inkjet cartridges, selling to the end user as well as the wholesale trade. Soon realizing that there was a need to get closer to the source, Naude entered the raw material industry partnering with 4Ways Imaging in South Africa. In 2011, there was an opportunity to diversify into other markets and he created CMYK Industries. In the last 4 years, he has been focusing on the growth and trends in African markets and finding cost saving solutions for many OEM companies looking to save on their MPS/ CPP solutions.
