We are extremely pleased that the PSD-PrintScan operations have joined the BlueStar family to become BlueStar Europe. The shared core values and work ethic of our organizations makes this union a natural fit. I am excited by the opportunity to introduce solutions-based distribution to the Value-Added Resellers in Europe’s electronics channel.”
Alexander Stahl, the new President of BlueStar Europe stated: “PSD-PrintScan has a long history of AIDC sales in Europe. We look at this acquisition as a great chance to increase European sales and further BlueStar’s reach.

Stahl continued: “We are enthusiastic about providing enhanced added value and expanded customer support to our partners with the amalgamation of our combined core competencies.

Cuntz added: “We are pleased the entire European management team will remain in place. We are also in the process of expanding our sales, technical support, and business-development personnel to cover this new additional market. This is a long-term commitment to our European customers, and our message is that increased and enhanced market penetration is possible when resellers have significant and unlimited support and information to sell the ROI on technological investments.”
