Founded in 1984, PBT International used scientific expertise to develop high quality print consumables and novel production methods, quickly becoming a key supplier to large Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). As demand for product grew, PBT International established locations around the world, with divisions in the USA, Australia, India and Japan. Following the success of its OEM supplies programme, PBT International launched its own extensive range of print supplies into the UK market - the Xinia brand rapidly established itself as a market leader and set the standard for compatible and remanufactured print consumables in the UK. Attracted by this success in a competitive market, the Xinia brand was bought by a major European manufacturer in 2014. PBT International is now able to use its manufacturing expertise and extensive industry knowledge to assist partners in many areas, including specialist manufacturing, logistics and most recently undertaking the processing and preparation of key used printer cartridge components for reintroduction into the supply chain for major manufacturers.
