EFI and Konica Minolta Business Solutions (KMBS) are expanding their existing partnership. Under the terms of a new agreement between the two companies, KMBS and its authorized dealer network will service and sell EFI Wide Format LED and UV inkjet printers.
The non-exclusive agreement expands the market presence for EFI to KMBS’s customer base of North American digital printing providers.
“This new agreement expands upon our long term partnership with EFI,” said Kevin P. Kern, senior vice president, Marketing at Konica Minolta Business Solutions. “The unique attributes of EFI’s inkjet products allow us to offer new capabilities to our Graphic Communications Customers, providing them access to new markets for high-value print.”
“EFI has longstanding, successful strategic alliance with KMBS centered on the development of EFI Fiery products for Konica Minolta production equipment, and we are very pleased to have the opportunity to expand our partnership,” said Frank Mallozzi, EFI’s senior vice president of worldwide sales and marketing. “We are excited that KMBS, with its extensive distribution and deep relationship with customers, chose EFI Wide Format products as a high-quality inkjet graphics platform to offer to its customers.”
Dino Pagliarello, director of product marketing for KMBS, announced the wide-format distribution pact during Konica Minolta’s National Dealer Meeting in Los Angeles. The two companies already work together to develop digital front ends that provide advanced color imaging and production capabilities on Konica Minolta digital presses and printers.
KMBS and authorized KMBS resellers will begin selling EFI LED Wide Format hybrid printers in May.
