What Assisminho - Copy and Print Solutions does

Assisminho - Copy and Print Solutions is a privately-held Portuguese B2B distributor founded in 2000 and headquartered in Queijada, Ponte de Lima. The company specializes in copy and print solutions, distributing printing and multifunction equipment, scanners, document shredders, consumables (toners, ink cartridges, drum units, print heads, labels, staples, batteries), spare parts (transfer units, fuser units, maintenance kits, chips, rollers, electronic components), IT accessories (cables, docking stations, memory, peripherals), software licenses, and a 'Usados' used-equipment line. The product range spans both original-equipment-manufacturer (OEM) products and compatible/generic alternatives from brands including HP, Kyocera, Brother, Canon, Xerox, Ricoh, Konica Minolta, Lexmark, Epson, Develop, HSM, CET Group, and Integral. Assisminho does not develop proprietary core technology; its value sits in curation, supply assurance, and breadth across multiple manufacturers.

The company's go-to-market combines a 24/7 multilingual e-commerce storefront (Portuguese, English, Spanish) with a dedicated B2B sales department providing personalized commercial follow-up. Separate departments handle purchases, logistics, and sales. Next-day delivery is offered for orders placed before 5:00 PM, with a cash-on-delivery (envios à cobrança) payment option available. The customer base is exclusively B2B — businesses, distributors, and resellers — with a horizontal segmentation approach across industries.

Revenue is generated through hardware, consumables, spare-parts, accessories, IT, and software resale; pricing is not publicly disclosed at an aggregate level. The firm holds NP EN ISO 9001:2015 certification (audited by SGS) for quality management, has earned PME Líder 2019 and PME Excelência 2021 recognitions from IAPMEI, and received EU non-repayable co-financing under the NORTE 2020 Program for its 'Assisminho Next Generation' digital transformation initiative (project NORTE-02-0853-FEDER-025832). Distribution is primarily self-serve online supplemented by direct enterprise sales, with geographic scope described as 'Portugal and beyond borders.'
