Kodak Boosts Gold Reseller Network with the Addition of New England-Based Tripp Company

Tripp Company has been serving clients in the Northeast since 1946, offering a wide range of consumables and services for the graphic arts industry. Now, as part of Kodak's Gold Reseller Network, Tripp Company is increasing its offerings to include the full line of KODAK Solutions for workflow, prepress, and packaging applications.

The Gold Reseller Network features highly trained and experienced channel partners who are committed to and aligned with Kodak's vision for the graphics business.

Gold Resellers carry Kodak's full portfolio of solutions and services for prepress and packaging customers across the United States and Canada.

In addition to the outstanding customer service and technical expertise that Tripp Company has always provided, its customers will now have access to a more robust line of solutions to optimize efficiency and ensure the highest quality output. The company will continue to work with customers to determine and integrate the best solutions to meet their specific requirements.

"We are very excited to expand our relationship with Kodak and offer our customers a wider selection of market-proven solutions for their complex production needs," noted Mike Tripp, President of Tripp Company. "For nearly 70 years, we have helped our customers navigate change and seize new opportunities by providing the best products and service. Our commitment has never been stronger—so becoming part of the Gold Reseller Network was a logical step for us. With this connection, we are well positioned for the future."

Innovative products now offered by Tripp Company include KODAK SONORA XP Process Free Plates, KODAK ACHIEVE Platesetters, KODAK PRINERGY Workflow Solutions, and KODAK FLEXCEL NX Systems, to name just a few. Its customer base in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine will benefit from this new relationship and the easy availability of KODAK Solutions from a trusted local source.

"Kodak is focused on growth across all of our product lines, and committed to our long-standing dealer program," said Dan Burmeister, Kodak's Indirect Sales Segment Leader, U.S. and Canada. "We are looking to maintain and add strong representation in all regions. Tripp Company provides us an excellent sales and distribution partner in the Northeast U.S."

Gold Resellers help ensure that Kodak maintains more localized inventory, local distribution, enhanced sales coverage, and improved access for customers. Gold Resellers also develop important relationships with clients and are able to work with them to provide expanded services, such as financing and credit.
