Konica Minolta global printing expansion

Overview

In early July 2026, Konica Minolta announced the expansion of its partner delivery and services network in the United Kingdom and the United States, signalling a broader push into key Western markets.

By early August, the company extended that effort to Asia, installing two AccurioPress C12000 units and one AccurioPress 6120 at Shri Shivam Screen Printers in Gwalior, India. The installations are expected to boost the printer’s digital output and deliver a return on investment within three years. Simultaneously, Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd showcased its new AccurioPress C5080 Series at The Print Show 2026 in Birmingham, emphasizing automation, reduced manual handling, and versatility to help commercial printers address labour shortages and rising costs.

Together, the snapshots illustrate a coordinated strategy to grow Konica Minolta’s printing footprint across both established (UK, US) and emerging (India) markets, leveraging new hardware and targeted product demonstrations.
