Arlington’s CWG International Acquires Additional U.S. Distributors

Carolina Wholesale Group (CWG) International announced today its acquisition of Illinois-based International Toner Company;  Nevada-based Supplies Wholesalers; and Illinois-based Cartridge World USA from Blackford Capital.

CWG International is a subsidiary of Arlington Industries’ Carolina Wholesale Group. U.S.-based Arlington is a wholesale distributor of printer supplies, office equipment. and printer and copier parts. Last week, Arlington also acquired Cartridge Warehouse International (see below).

CWG International said that Supplies Wholesalers, Cartridge World USA, and International Toner Corporation operations will now benefit from the experience and stability of CWG International’s brand diversity and industry experience. 

Founded in 1981, International Toner Company is said to be one of the largest domestic manufacturers of copier, fax, and laser-based printing supplies with operations based in the United States.

Supplies Wholesalers is a wholesale distributor of imaging supplies to resellers across the United States. 

Cartridge World USA provides printer supplies through their Cartridge World franchisee locations operating throughout the United States. 

Cartridge Warehouse Acquisition

Last week, Arlington Industries had acquired Cartridge Warehouse International (CWI) for undisclosed sum.

Arlington said that CWI ownership felt it was the right time to transition their business and provide their customers a new distributor partner for the future.

Arlington also said: “The difficult part of this decision is not the selling the business; rather knowing their interactions with you, the customer, will end. Arlington is committed to building a strong, long-lasting relationship that will serve your business well.”

CWI customers now have gone from having access to 7,000 OEM, remanufactured and compatible products to over 17,000 supply products that are distributed through Arlington’s five coast-to-coast distribution centers.

Cartridge Warehouse International, located in Canoga Park, California, is a wholesale distributor of imaging supplies and accessories. For more than 25 years, it’s provided services to office-equipment dealers and office supply stores in the United States.

CWI did not sell to end users and were in business solely to serve dealers and this will remain the same with  Arlington.

Arlington noted that it’s celebrating 50 years of business as a privately owned business committed to providing one-stop shop for resellers throughout North America.
