Peach

What Peach does

Peach is a Swiss private-label brand operating as the Peach Division of 3T Supplies AG, headquartered in Schindellegi, Canton Schwyz, Switzerland (Chaltenbodenstrasse 6). Founded in 2007, the company specializes in the development, remanufacture, and direct sale of compatible ink cartridges (Tintenpatronen) for inkjet printers and compatible toner modules (Tonermodule) for laser printers, offering drop-in alternatives to original consumables from HP, Canon, Epson, Brother, Samsung, Lexmark, OKI, Kyocera, and Xerox. Core technology centers on a remanufacturing process in which empty original cartridges are collected, cleaned, refilled with fresh toner powder, and have all wear parts replaced; some product lines additionally integrate 100% new chips built in-house to enable full ink-level display functionality. A sub-brand, 3ppp3 Toner, extends the toner offering.

The business operates as a direct-to-consumer e-commerce retailer via its peachpatronen.ch storefront, with email-based ordering also supported and a separate German operating entity (PRT GmbH, Tannheim) handling fulfillment and returns for the German market. Pricing on compatible cartridges delivers a roughly 50% saving versus OEM equivalents (e.g., compatible HP 59A from CHF 58.00 versus original HP 59A at CHF 123.30), backed by a 24-month warranty. The portfolio extends beyond printer consumables into adjacent office equipment (laminators, shredders, binding machines, cutting machines), printing supplies (photo paper, laminating films, thermal rolls), plotter supplies, and cleaning products, with promotional campaigns run on a bi-weekly cadence through newsletters and social channels. Customers span home-office users, SMBs, and larger corporate buyers across at least 14 European countries.

The legal entity is 3T Supplies AG (a private Swiss company), with PRT GmbH as a separate German limited company; no external investors, funding rounds, or public listings are disclosed in the source data. Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees, and Peach has held test-winner status from independent test institutes for ink-cartridge print quality, reinforcing its brand recognition in the DACH region.
