Fujifilm branded “Apeos” office printer series now available in the UK, following a successful introduction in Italy
Fujifilm Europe announces the arrival of its high quality multifunction office printers, Apeos*1 series in the UK market. Developed by FUJIFILM Business Innovation Corp. of Japan, the series was successfully introduced in Italy earlier this month and was showcased at a specialist media event on April 25th in the Fujifilm Customer Innovation Centre, Luton.
This marks a further expansion of the phased rollout across Europe, with additional countries to follow in the coming months. Fujifilm partnered with respected Business Solutions provider, Aurora, for the initial launch of the Apeos series in the UK, with further expansion planned through a partner channel business model.
FUJIFILM Business Innovation is the number one supplier of A3 multifunction printers in the Asia Pacific region*2, with Fujifilm technology powering millions of office printers across the globe. Prior to today, none of these devices had been available under the Fujifilm brand except in the Asia Pacific region.
Built on Fujifilm’s decades of print and imaging expertise, the ultra-reliable Apeos range is designed for the modern workplace. From remote / mobile printing capabilities, to superior security features and exceptional sustainability credentials, Apeos is a high-value multifunction printer range, designed to support digital transformation, and to meet the rapidly changing and hugely diverse demands of the fast-paced, flexible, post-Covid office environment.
“It’s hugely exciting to be entering the European office printer market after our entry into the toner production printer business in Europe in 2021.” said Taku Ueno, Senior Vice President, Device Technology Division of FUJIFILM Europe. “We’ve had tremendous success in the last three years introducing high quality Fujifilm branded production printers to the market, and the launch of our office printers is the natural next step.”
Andy Moffitt, CEO of Aurora adds: “We pride ourselves both on the breadth of our product offering and the quality of the products and services we provide to our customers. Anyone with any knowledge of dry toner print technology, and the development of office printing solutions over the decades, understands the critical role that Fujifilm has played, and continues to play in that story. So to now be able to work with Fujifilm directly in the UK is going to be of huge benefit to our customers – and is very exciting for us.”
