Fujifilm signs SumnerOne as first production and industrial print dealer in North America to market a unique suite of its print service solutions.
FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Business Innovation Division, announced that it has partnered with St. Louis-based SumnerOne, a leading business technology solutions provider, as its first North American dealer partner focused on the FUJIFILM REVORIA PRESS and FUJIFILM ACUITY wide-format inkjet print solutions.
SumnerOne will also be offering Fujifilm’s printbar products for integrated inkjet and FUJIFILM JPRESS B2 and CF inkjet solutions through its wholly owned subsidiary, Production Print Solutions (PPS), as part of this collaboration.
“Business innovation is one of Fujifilm’s core pillars, as print plays a critical role in our world,” said Yuji Oki, General Manager of FUJIFILM North America Corporation, Business Innovation Division. “Expanding our production and industrial print market share with a strategic partner such as SumnerOne and Production Print Solutions (PPS) is a natural next step to best serve our customers, not to mention a critical piece of the overall evolution of our business.”
“As part of SumnerOne’s broad service offering, our recent acquisition of PPS enables customers to maximize the investment they have made in their Fujifilm print solutions,” said Edmund Sumner, Co-President of SumnerOne. “PPS has a broad network of service locations where over 70 highly skilled service technicians are supporting specialised, high-volume continuous feed systems and complex finishing setups involving tailored print head solutions. This service approach is highly targeted to the complex print manufacturing needs of clients operating in very high-volume sectors.”
By partnering with Fujifilm, SumnerOne broadens its production mono and colour offerings, as well as wide format inkjet solutions, while enabling PPS to offer a comprehensive portfolio of advanced industrial print solutions designed specifically for ultra high-volume production customers including B2, roll fed and hybrid digital/analogue solutions with integrated inkjet printbars for cases where inkjet presses simply will not fit.
For the initial part of the Fujifilm and SumnerOne/PPS partnership, both companies said they will closely collaborate on inkjet solutions in the B2 and continuous feed arena.
“We’re very excited to partner with Fujifilm on this critical strategic initiative, as we have seen the success that Fujifilm’s production and industrial print solutions have had across the world,” said Liz Sumner, Co-President of SumnerOne. “With the service prowess of PPS in high-volume production and industrial print, this collaboration makes the three complementary organisations a truly unique synthesis of best-in-class innovation, customer-centricity and dedication to service. I think it’s an ideal partnership for all involved.”
To celebrate their new partnership, Fujifilm and SumnerOne will be co-hosting their first production print and industrial print open house at Fujifilm’s Graphics Innovation Hub within its North American headquarters in Hanover Park, Illinois, on 8th April and 9th, 2025.
