Konica Minolta Introduces Paper Solutions Business Unit to Expand Global Offerings
Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc. announced the formation of Konica Minolta Paper Solutions, a dedicated business unit delivering a comprehensive portfolio of paper products to customers across industries and around the world.
The launch follows a strategic decision by parent company Konica Minolta, Inc. (KMI) to divest its shares in Konica Minolta Marketing Services Holding Limited (KMMS). As part of the transition, the paper division was excluded from the sale and is now fully integrated within Konica Minolta’s North American operations.
Harris Atkins, a respected industry leader with more than 30 years of experience, has been appointed President of Konica Minolta Paper Solutions and will join the company’s executive leadership team. Most recently, Atkins served as President and CEO for KMMS in North America.
We are thrilled to welcome Harris and his team as they expand our capabilities through the newly established paper business. This carve-out creates new momentum for our business, unlocking a new growth channel, opening a fresh revenue stream, strengthening our customer reach and reaffirming our commitment to being the easiest company to do business with.
Sam Errigo, President and CEO, Konica Minolta
Konica Minolta Paper Solutions will offer a wide array of paper products – from standard office stock and commercial grades to specialty substrates – all supported by a robust global sourcing and logistics network. Leveraging long-standing relationships with global mills and decades of refined procurement and distribution models, the division is uniquely equipped to provide consistent quality and supply chain reliability at scale.
I’m honoured to lead this exciting new chapter with the goal of meeting today’s demands and driving what’s possible for our customers in the future. As we chart a course forward, backed by the legacy of a global brand, we’re positioned to not only complement a broad portfolio but also to raise the bar on what customers can expect: quality, availability and delivery built on what businesses need now and next.
Harris Atkins, President, Konica Minolta Paper Solutions
The introduction of Konica Minolta Paper Solutions further reinforces the company’s strategy to diversify its offerings and deliver end-to-end value across its array of business technology solutions.
