DULUTH, MN – IKONICS Corporation, a Duluth-based imaging technology company, and Roland ASD announced today the formation of a new distribution arrangement. IKONICS will sell Roland’s line of EGX series rotary engravers throughout North America and Roland distributors will have an opportunity to sell IKONICS’ new IKONMetal — a metal-matrix composite engineered to accommodate engraving, routing and sandblasting. Roland will also present IKONMetal on the company’s website and include samples of the product in equipment packaging.
Both parties assert the arrangement will benefit the respective companies’ efforts in the awards and recognition, personalization and signage markets.
Bill Ulland, CEO at IKONICS expressed optimism regarding the arrangement, acknowledging the Roland brand as an important strategic asset: “We’re pleased to have this arrangement with Roland,” said Ulland. “The Roland brand is widely-respected in the markets we serve. Our position in those markets is also very strong and we’re confident about our ability to assist Roland in distributing their equipment and Roland’s ability to assist us in our introduction of IKONMetal.”
Gerald Hiller, Roland ASD Managing Director, was similarly positive. “We are very enthusiastic. IKONICS is a world class company and we see tremendous synergies with this partnership.”
“Roland ASD has been very thorough and professional in developing this arrangement and we look forward to an ongoing, mutually beneficial relationship,” added Ulland.
