Kentucky-based business equipment dealer changes name after completion of integration with Konica Minolta.
Industry Analysts reports on the name change, which takes place after the business was acquired by Konica Minolta in October 2011.
The acquisition enables Konica Minolta to expand its operations to reach the Kentucky and Indiana market, with five OfficeWare offices now serving the region under the name of Konica Minolta Business Solutions in Louisville, Lexington and Bowling Green, Kentucky; Evansville, Indiana; and Marion, Illinois.
Former OfficeWare Vice President of Sales Craig Miller is to take up the position of Market Vice-President for the company and will be responsible for all Konica Minolta operations in the region, while all local market and service managers will remain in their positions as Konica Minolta employees.
Rick Taylor, President and Chief Operating Officer for Konica Minolta Business Soltutions USA, Inc. commented: “For the past 18 months, we have embarked on an aggressive growth strategy designed to increase our customer base and market share through organic growth, partnerships and acquisitions where there is clear value for our customers and the company.
“Integrating OfficeWare into the Konica Minolta family ensures that we have a strong presence across the Midwest and talented people who understand the needs of local customers. As we continue to grow, customers can count on Konica Minolta to provide them with innovative office technology, solutions and managed services.”
