Static Control Reports from Successful Seminar in Ukraine

Static Control has recently supported its authorized Ukrainian distributor, Makkon LLC, by attending a seminar in late September, during which two of Static Control’s employees flew across Europe to participate.

Static Control has been a market leader in toner and component shipments to the Ukraine for the last 20 years and continues to strengthen its position. Makkon has always demonstrated a great enthusiasm toward Static Control’s products. Over the years, the two companies have developed a strong relationship and continue to work together day-after-day to best serve their customers and increase their network.

Makkon invited Static Control to participate at their annual dealer seminar held in Kiev, Ukraine in late September. With more than 30 representatives from 22 Ukrainian companies present, this exclusive event was a success. Employees from both Static Control and Makkon presented during the seminar.
