A2N

What A2N does

A2N, operating under the legal entity Kustom Printing Products, is a privately held distributor and service provider for the mailing and coding industry, headquartered in the Nashville, Tennessee area. The company sells new and reconditioned equipment — including printers, transport bases, conveyors, feeders, tabbers, and dryers — spanning more than 20 manufacturer brands such as Buskro, SureFeed, Streamfeeder, Accufast, Ameritek, Domino, Kirk Rudy, Pitney Bowes, and Videojet. It also supplies replacement parts and consumables (inks, adhesives, cleaning wipes, fluids, labels, tabs, strapping, and tray tags) and maintains dedicated partner storefronts for major brands at buskroparts.com, surefeedparts.com, and streamfeederparts.com.

The business operates as a multi-brand aftermarket parts and service intermediary rather than as an OEM or proprietary technology developer; revenue is generated across three streams — equipment and parts sales (new and reconditioned), consumable supplies, and professional services including on-site repair, equipment rentals, and preventive maintenance agreements. Go-to-market is direct-to-customer via the printmailparts.com e-commerce storefront, phone sales (615 318-1472), and field service, targeting mailing and coding operators that require reliable third-party support across heterogeneous installed equipment bases.

The company was founded by Chris Allen circa 2009 and is operated by a small team (1–10 employees) with a stated 40+ years of combined customer service experience. Pricing is unit-based for individual parts and consumables (examples: fuses at $3.07, vacuum filters at $52.70, Carton Black cartridges at $50.25), while equipment and specialized parts require phone quoting. The business has no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, no patents, and no publicly disclosed financials.
