Konica Minolta expands partner delivery and services in UK and US

Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd has introduced a next‑day delivery service for its partners, allowing orders of office equipment, entry‑level professional printers and consumables to be fulfilled by the end of the next business day. The programme, run with authorised distributor Westcoast, uses real‑time stock visibility at Westcoast’s Hampshire distribution centre and ERP integration to reduce lead times and improve cash‑flow management. Sales Director James Pittick said, “Through our partner roundtables and survey we listened closely to their requirements for faster delivery, and by collaborating with Westcoast, we are significantly reducing lead times and costs.”

In the United States, Visual Edge IT has broadened its long‑standing relationship with Konica Minolta through a nationwide strategic partnership. The agreement expands Visual Edge’s ability to sell and service production‑print, A3/A4 office systems and managed‑print solutions across sectors such as healthcare, government and education. It also gives Visual Edge access to Konica Minolta’s training, product expertise and enablement resources, supporting a combined offering that includes print, IT services and cybersecurity.
