TOSHIBA TEC TRST-A15 double-sided printer investment break-even in five months

SEOUL, August 2010 – Mega Mart, part of one of South Korea’s top business conglomerates, selected TOSHIBA TEC retail hardware to underline its strong commitment to an environmentally-friendly world, it said.

Mega Mart is an integrated part of the Nongshim Group with 11 stores in South Korea, five in China and two in the US as well as a presence in Japan.

A typical Mega Mart discount retailer store has three sections: a food court, and a separate fashion department and also a grocery department.

The company’s Vision 2015 program is “to pursue health and happiness based on a traditional Korean food culture that values life”, according to Shin Dong-Ik, CEO of Mega Mart. The company has pledged to become a leader in helping to create a low-carbon economy, he stated.

TOSHIBA TEC’s tradition of manufacturing high-quality retail solutions and its strong commitment to reduce the environmental impact of POS solutions were key drivers for Mega Mart to select the TRST-A15 double-sided receipt printer for its retail stores.

The TRST-A15 double-sided thermal printer reduces paper consumption by up to 50 percent, drastically decreasing the environmental impact of receipt printing.

Content information on the receipts can be tailored to each individual customer. Examples include rebate information, contest information, serialized cartoons, terms and conditions of sale, promotional information, coupon information, security features, ticket information and custom information based on recipient identity or transaction data or detail.

Retailers select TOSHIBA TEC’s POS hardware for its long life cycle and very low maintenance costs, reducing the need for replacement and freeing investment budgets for other retail operations.

This combination of TOSHIBA TEC’s retail-hardened technology with a smart paper-saving printing solution guarantees an excellent Return on Investment (ROI). Mega Mart announced a break-even of their investment for the TOSHIBA TEC TRST-A15 double-sided printer in five months following the introduction of this environmentally-friendly solution.

It is an example of a green solution that continuously reduces the costs in the retailer’s day-to-day operation which means savings can be passed on to the customer, encouraging them to make sustainable choices.
