The Imaging Consumables Coalition of Europe, Middle East and Africa (ICCE) is a non-profit making association with nine members: Brother, Canon, Epson, Hewlett Packard, Kyocera Mita, Lexmark, OKI, Samsung and Xerox.

The imaging consumables industry is currently threatened by a Euro 1.6 billion market in counterfeit imaging supplies which are often dangerous, environmentally unfriendly and which cheat consumers of the quality they are entitled to expect from branded consumables.

Legitimate manufacturers are increasingly embroiled in legal actions against manufacturers and distributors/resellers of these fraudulent imaging supplies.

More than 100,000 jobs in Europe depend on the imaging supplies industry and as counterfeiters use economic volatility and low price to increase their customer base those jobs are increasingly under threat.

ICCE has a world-wide reach and is fighting back with all the resources available to them, making a difference through education, lobbying, surveillance and prosecution.
