Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK has announced a partnership with Connect Print, combining Konica Minolta's production print portfolio with Connect Print's expertise in technology design, commercial modeling and customer management.

The partnership gives Connect Print access to Konica Minolta's range of digital cut-sheet, fifth-color, industrial print, label production, inkjet, High Chroma, MGI digital embellishment and in-line finishing technologies, broadening its ability to serve high-volume and specialist environments.

The Connect Print leadership team, Warren Beard, Paul Stead and Jason Bryant, brings more than 75 years of combined industry experience, and the two organizations have a working history spanning more than two decades.

'We remain independent in our recommendations, focused on ROI and fully accountable for the outcomes we deliver. Working with Konica Minolta means we now have even more depth and capability behind us.'

'Their consultative approach, combined with our production portfolio and service capability, creates a powerful proposition across commercial print, public sector and corporate print rooms.'

Both companies plan joint events, customer engagement programs and market development initiatives through 2026.
