Notching up another milestone in its remarkable growth trajectory, Konica Minolta Business Solutions announced the installation of the 450th AccurioLabel toner press on a global scale. The announcement was made at the Labelexpo Europe 2019, the world’s biggest label and package printing exhibition, where it also unveiled the latest addition to its range of toner label press solutions – the AccurioLabel 230, which comes with numerous upgraded features.
The 40th edition of the illustrious event was held in Brussels, Belgium, between 24 and 27 September 2019. At the event, Konica Minolta India displayed its innovative printing and post-printing solutions and highlighted the qualities of its new product through a practical demonstration. Konica Minolta AccurioLabel 230 serves as an improvement upon its predecessor, offering a 73% faster printing along with enhanced productivity. In addition to including an option for overprinting, the new product does not require any warm-up, is less wasteful, and offers more accurate print registration.
Speaking on the announcement, Daisuke Mori, managing director, Konica Minolta Business Solutions India, said, “We have come a long way since we announced the 100th customer milestone at the Labelexpo Europe two years ago. This year, we have achieved the installation of the 450th toner press. We are pleased with the confidence our buyers have shown in our cutting-edge printing solutions. New-age customers today want shorter runs, shorter turnaround times, and higher personalization. At Konica Minolta, our aim has always been to deliver digital printing systems that are in sync with the latest trends in the market. It is in line with this mission that we also exhibited the upgraded addition to our AccurioLabel press family at this year’s Labelexpo Europe.”
“Thanks to the confidence of our customers, we have leapfrogged from being the third biggest manufacturer in label printing when we started out in 2017 to being number 2 in the market in 2018, as per InfoSource figures (April 18 – March 19). We will continue to deliver the best-in-class printing and post-printing solutions to fulfill any and all industrial printing needs of our consumers,” he added.
