Kyocera Mita Corporation has announced the establishment of Kyocera Mita Asia Limited (President: Masayuki Higuchi; herein “KMAS”) in Hong Kong, which is planned to begin operations on October 1, 2010.

The Kyocera Mita Group currently has regional sales companies throughout Asia including India, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore and mainland China.
