Wednesday 02. December 2009 - Color Multifunction Printers and Solutions Bring Increased Functionality to AEG Locations and Venues Worldwide

Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta), a leading provider of advanced imaging and networking technologies for the desktop to the print shop, today announced a new strategic partnership with AEG, one of the leading sports and entertainment presenters in the world, to replace their current print fleet at more than 100 venues and offices worldwide. Konica Minolta will provide AEG a combination of bizhub multifunctional products (MFPs — print, copy, fax, and scan all in one system), bizhub PRO digital presses, and application solutions at company facilities to improve document workflow and deliver high-quality output for all of AEG’s printing needs.
As part of the multi-year worldwide agreement, Konica Minolta will provide AEG with color MFPs and monochrome digital presses, many of which are already in place at Los Angeles locations including STAPLES Center and Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE. By replacing their current fleet, AEG will leverage Konica Minolta’s award-winning technologies and high level of service efficiency to ensure their printing fleet is kept in peak operating condition at all times.
“We view Konica Minolta as an integral part of AEG’s ongoing organizational operations based on their ability to deliver market-leading products and solutions, particularly the innovation demonstrated by the bizhub product line,” said Todd Goldstein, President, AEG Global Partnerships. “While we considered many competing manufacturers, we decided that AEG’s printing needs, which range from interoffice communications to external-facing promotional documents, will best be met by Konica Minolta on a global level.”
“This new partnership with AEG is well underway, and we are looking forward to expanding the relationship on a global level as we move into 2010,” said Kevin Kern, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. “By helping AEG remove inefficiencies from their current printing operations, add much-needed functionality, and realize a more productive and higher-quality print environment, we remain committed to delivering customized solutions and demonstrating how customers can count on Konica Minolta for their worldwide printing needs.”
