Konica Minolta has hired Adam Todd, who will take the role of industrial print sales specialist for New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.

The company says Todd is focused on assisting commercial printers to be more profitable and grow new revenue streams using Konica Minolta’s industrial print technology.

The new hire has 30 years’ experience in the commercial print industry, including commercial print sales at Fuji Xerox, his prior role.

Todd says, “I was looking for an organisation that was customer-focused, nimble, innovative and had a good social responsibility, and Konica Minolta ticked all the boxes for me.

“As long-run print continues to struggle for relevance, the short run and versioned print markets will continue to grow, and is opening up new opportunities for commercial printers. Our conversations are now more about adding value and return on investment. With the market at a crossroads in terms of technology to fill this gap between long-run and short-run, Konica Minolta’s industrial print portfolio, including the KM-1, label press and MGI digital embellishment, are a really nice fit.”

David Procter, sales director, Konica Minolta, says, “Adam has a depth of expertise in selling high-value capital equipment and complex software and workflow solutions to commercial printers, as well as very strong technical skills across a broad range of technology, making him an invaluable part of the sales team."

Industrial print is picked to be one of the faster growing segments of the industry, as new applications open up in printed electronics, security printing, and in the packaging sector.
