Pantum: An Emerging Player in Malaysia’s Home Printing Landscape
Pantum, a Chinese printer brand, has recently made its entry into the Malaysian market, creating a stir among budget-conscious consumers. The brand has captured attention by offering a compelling proposition: commercial-grade laser printer technology at remarkably affordable price points.
This affordability extends beyond the initial printer purchase, as toner cartridges are also priced competitively. This intriguing value proposition naturally leads to the question: Who exactly is Pantum, and what makes their printers stand out in the crowded Malaysian market?
International Brand DNA
Pantum traces its roots back to Ninestar Group, a leading Chinese technology company. A pivotal moment in their journey occurred with the acquisition of Lexmark’s printer technology.
This acquisition provided Pantum with a solid foundation, inheriting valuable expertise and know-how from a renowned player in the printing industry. Building upon this strong base, they embarked on a path of continuous innovation. A testament to this commitment is the development of its first fully in-house developed laser printer in 2010.
This milestone marked a significant step forward, demonstrating their’s dedication to independent research and development. Drawing upon the legacy of Lexmark and fueled by its own innovative spirit, they has rapidly grown to become a prominent force in the global printing market.
The Ninestar group almost setup other brand under their wings, such as Geehy specialized in micro-processor, Apexmic in printer cartridge chips, XGHC in printer ink substances, and finally G&G distributing the printer consumables.
Co-existing with Lexmark
Despite acquiring Lexmark, Ninestar Group has strategically nurtured the independent development of Pantum. This strategic approach has contributed significantly to Pantum’s emergence as one of the largest printer brands globally.
To ensure harmonious co-existence and avoid internal competition, Ninestar Group has adopted a clear market segmentation strategy. Lexmark is strategically positioned to cater to the demands of the commercial market, focusing on enterprise-level solutions and services.
In contrast, Pantum primarily targets the home user and small office segments, offering affordable and reliable printing solutions for everyday needs. This distinct market positioning allows both brands to thrive within the Ninestar Group ecosystem, leveraging their respective strengths and catering to the diverse needs of different customer segments.
Entering Malaysia Market
Pantum’s official announced their entry into the Malaysian market earlier this year has generated significant excitement. The launch has been spearheaded by two strategically chosen models: the monochrome BM2300AW and BP2300W.
The BM2300AW is an multi-functional monochrome printer, complete with a scanner with auto feeder system. While the BP2300W is a simpler single function monochrome printer.
These printers have quickly garnered attention due to their exceptionally competitive pricing, making them highly attractive to budget-conscious consumers. Furthermore, Pantum has taken affordability to the next level by offering consumable costs that are significantly lower – often half – compared to those of competing brands.
This compelling combination of affordable hardware and remarkably low running costs positions to disrupt the Malaysian printing market and offer a compelling value proposition to both home users and small businesses.
Going forward with Pantum
The arrival of Pantum in the Malaysian market marks an exciting development for consumers seeking high-quality printing solutions without breaking the bank.
With a strong heritage, a focus on innovation, and a commitment to affordability, they are poised to become a leading force in the local printing landscape. We encourage readers to explore the range of Pantum printers and experience the joy of printing at a fraction of the cost.
