December 19, 2024
Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. (Konica Minolta) announced a strategic partnership with Taktiful Software Solutions (Taktiful), a training and software solutions provider for digital embellishments.
Combining Konica Minolta’s printing technology and global reach with Taktiful’s specialised expertise in digital embellishment, the alliance aims to accelerate innovation to expand market opportunities and deliver unprecedented value to customers worldwide.
Embellishment offers unlimited ways to create visually stunning, tactile, high-value pieces – from brochures and signage to direct mail and packaging. Combining embossing, debossing, varnishing, foils and other techniques with variable data printing to personalise materials creates even greater impact, impressions and ROI, for print shops and their customers. According to Francois Martin, a former Senior Consultant for Messe Düsseldorf, embracing innovative digital finishing techniques can unlock a realm of possibilities, leading to increased profitability, enhanced brand recognition and a sustainable competitive advantage in today’s dynamic marketplace.
“By partnering with Taktiful, we’re taking a bold step toward empowering our customers with the knowledge and solutions they need to lead the market in embellishment excellence,” said Frank Mallozzi, President, IPP, Konica Minolta. “Our proficiency and award-winning technology, coupled with industry specific embellishment experts to help our customers will allow us to unlock the full potential of digital embellishments. It’s a win-win.”
“We’ve always believed that digital embellishment has the power to transform how brands communicate and connect with their audiences,” said Kevin Abergel, President, Taktiful. “Konica Minolta’s vision and leadership align perfectly with our mission to drive adoption, creativity and profitability in the industry. By leveraging the unique strengths of both organisations, we will not only enhance our product offerings but also redefine industry standards and customer expectations in digital embellishment.”
“One of the really unique aspects of this relationship is the Taktiful team’s familiarity with our MGI devices. They are true subject matter experts who really know how to leverage our technology in ways others do not,” said Sean Roberts, National Director, Digital Embellishment, Konica Minolta. “The alliance is also a great complement to support our customer onboarding programme, which will now incorporate Taktiful’s ‘boot camp’ workshop, providing the professional services and business support clients need.”
