Konica Becomes Master Distributor of MGI in Canada

Konica Minolta Business Solutions Canada Ltd. today announced an exclusive agreement, effective immediately, with MGI’s Digital Graphic Technology division to co-market and service the full line of MGI printing and finishing systems.

Konica Minolta and MGI have several existing distribution programs in place globally and the two companies have worked together for nearly two decades. “We are excited to be strengthening our collaboration with Konica Minolta,” stated Michael Abergel, Executive VP of MGI. “Konica Minolta is the ideal partner to expand our distribution in Canada.”

The MGI partnership in Canada started with the addition of MGI’s JETvarnish 3DS to Konica Minolta’s production print portfolio. The agreement announced today extends the full spectrum of MGI products to Konica Minolta Canada, which includes the Meteor series of digital presses, the JETvarnish 3D line, and other finishing technologies.

MGI is unique in its manufacture of products designed to handle a range of substrates and formats, including foils and plastics, along with spot coating, embossing, hot foil and high-gloss applications aimed at short-run work.  

“The printing and packaging industries are continually looking for innovative ways to expand their services and streamline production. By combining the MGI line-up with our current offering, we significantly increase our ability to help clients differentiate, grow margins, and improve productivity,” said Chris Dewart, President and CEO, Konica Minolta Business Solutions Canada.

Konica Minolta plans to provide MGI market coverage across Canada by leveraging its direct sales and service force, as as well as through its partner channels.
