ICEE

The Imaging Consumables Coalition of Europe (ICCE) was formed to increase awareness of counterfeit product entering the distribution chain.

The problem in Europe is estimated to be 5% of the total European Supplies Market, i.e. US$500 million. This is further confirmed by the fact that individual consumable manufacturers are increasingly embroiled in legal actions against manufacturers and distributors/ resellers of fraudulent imaging supplies.

The ICCE, is a non-profit making association originally consisting of five members, namely Epson, Hewlett Packard, Lexmark, Oki and Tally. ICCE is continually developing initiatives to prevent fake consumables from entering the market place and has recently devised the ICCE Partner Program. XMA are a member of this program and we are working in partnership with our vendors to create a strong anti-counterfeit message in the market place and fight against the counterfeiters.
