IIJ creates US subsidiary

Industrial Inkjet Ltd USA is located in Golden, Colorado, with the recently appointed Graham Vlcek, IIJ's president in the region, to head up the new business.

IIJ said it has placed experts in inkjet system engineering, manufacturing and service in the North American market for several years, but the creation of a US subsidiary will allow customers to do business directly with a US-based company, during the US working day and purchase in US dollars. 

‘The US team will leverage the extensive capabilities and services in the UK – inkjet systems, product design, process development, ink R&D, etc, as we establish similar capabilities here,’ explained Vlcek. ‘We are pursuing the wide variety of applications, including packaging, labels, product decoration and security printing to name a few, that IIJ with Konica Minolta’s inkjet printhead technology, has been so successful providing solutions for.’

The new office has been set-up as a space for training and client demonstrations, and within close proximity to Denver International Airport.

IIJ managing director John Corrall commented: ‘It makes perfect sense for us to establish the US corporation to provide local support and services to our growing North American activity. As we expand our operations in the US, we have a huge amount of investment and activity planned in North America. Our objective is that customers and partners will find it more simple and beneficial doing business with IIJ.’
