IIMAK, a global leader in the development and manufacturing of printing, imaging and marking consumable supplies, has been named a Best Channel Vendor for 2016 by Business Solutions Magazine (BSM) subscribers. IIMAK received excellent ratings in all seven categories, with top scores in the service and support and channel friendly categories. For the second year in a row, IIMAK has the honor of being the only Thermal Transfer Ribbon manufacturer selected in the survey.

“IIMAK is constantly striving to provide world-class services to our partners, and we’re honored to have been recognized again this year,” says Jose Morlin, vice president of sales and marketing at IIMAK. “The TTR market has become extremely competitive with new entrants compromising the channel. We strive to preserve channel integrity and will provide new products and services, enabling our channel partners to grow their TTR business.”

The annual poll of Value Added Resellers (VARs) was conducted from mid-September to early October of 2015, where 5,401 votes were cast in total from 2,737 qualified participants. Business Solutions partnered with Penn State to conduct the survey and asked subscribers to rate their vendor partners in seven categories.

Since 2009, IIMAK has regularly been recognized as Best Channel Vendor in the annual BSM survey. The full list of Best Channel Vendors for 2016 can be found in a special report in the January issue of Business Solutions Magazine.
