Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd has announced a new partnership with Connect Print, the Reading-based specialist consultancy‑led print solutions provider, founded by industry experts Warren Beard, Paul Stead and Jason Bryant. The partnership brings together Konica Minolta’s market‑leading production print technologies with Connect Print’s deep expertise in solution design, commercial modelling and long‑term customer management.
With more than 75 years of combined industry experience, the Connect Print leadership team has built its business around four core pillars: technology, futures, service and support, and a commercial proposition – to deliver tangible long‑term customer value. Konica Minolta’s breadth of portfolio, proven production reliability and strong service ecosystem were key factors in the decision to partner.
From high‑performance digital cut‑sheet and fifth‑colour systems to industrial print, label production, inkjet, High Chroma, MGI digital embellishment technologies, and unique in-line finishing solutions, Konica Minolta’s offering now enables Connect Print to support an even wider range of high‑volume and specialist environments. This includes commercial print, direct mail, transactional print, and organisations transitioning from legacy litho or underperforming digital installations.
The partnership also strengthens Connect Print’s ability to take on larger and more complex customer environments, supported by Konica Minolta’s nationwide service infrastructure and specialist teams across labels, embellishment, inline finishing, and production workflow.
