Kodak and Danka Announce Expanded Sales Alliance for Digital Presses
Agreement expands successful sales and service relationship for Kodak's
production printing systems; broadens market penetration in corporate and
government markets
Eastman Kodak Company and Danka Holdings B.V., the European subsidiary of Danka
Business Systems PLC, today announced an expansion of their long standing sales
alliance aimed at increasing sales and market penetration for Kodak's digital
production presses. The expanded agreement takes effect in January 2006.
Danka and Kodak have had a highly successful sales and service alliance with
Kodak's line of DIGIMASTER black-and-white production printing systems. This
expanded alliance will enable Danka to increase its sales of DIGIMASTER
production printers in corporate, print for pay and government markets; Kodak
will enjoy growth of NEXPRESS production colour press systems sales in these
markets through Danka's support. The agreement closely aligns the Kodak and
Danka sales organisations to leverage the capabilities of each in their core
markets.
"Danka's skilled and effective sales and service organisations are extending
their long track record of success with our DIGIMASTER production printing
systems, while Kodak is seeing increased direct sales success in its core
commercial printing markets," said Venkat Purushotham, Managing Director,
Digital Printing, Kodak's Graphic Communications Group (GCG). "We look forward
to supporting the growth of Danka's sales into its key markets and enlisting its
support of the sales success of our colour products."
"This expanded strategic supplier relationship with Kodak builds upon Danka's
managed print services strategy by capturing a larger share of the production
environment for colour and black-and-white printing in targeted markets," said
Todd Mavis, President and CEO, Danka. "This strategy will be driven by Danka's
highly regarded organisation of Systems Engineers and Production Print Sales
Specialists worldwide."
