Maxine McKew opens Konica Minolta’s new HQ

High-tech, low impact building investment in North Ryde is a vote of confidence in the future of the industry.

The well-known Labor MP, former ABC television journalist and defeater of John Howard at the last election, was the guest of honour at the inauguration of Konica Minolta's new building. The impressive new building is designed to present customers and staff with the very latest in enviro friendly design as well as deliver on convenience and efficiency.

She joined David Cooke, executive general manager, Konica Minolta Business Solutions who said: “Our impressive new office space has already created a buzz for staff and clients coming to the building for meetings and demonstrations.”

The opening of Konica Minolta House reflects the impact the company has achieved on the production sector of digital printing in the past two years.  Konica Minolta withdrew its camera business offering, Konica Minolta Photo Imaging, Inc., in 2006. Since then, under the leadership of David Procter, the production printing division of Konica Minolta has become a serious player in graphic arts colour and mono printing. An extensive digital production printing showroom in the new building indicates the scope of the company’s offerings.

Apart from its iconic bizhub PRO series, which saw the 500th machine installed recently, Konica Minolta also had a Kodak NexPress in place being looked after by Kodak’s Steve Peck. Along with its rebadged Océ high-speed black and white machine it reflects the complete range of engines on offer.
