Konica Minolta Business Solutions, the India arm of Konica Minolta, was recently felicitated by its parent company at the Group’s Annual Assessment. With entries from various Konica Minolta functions in more than 150 countries, Konica Minolta India won the Silver award in the Business Contribution category for its superlative performance in the Production Printing business.

The assessment is a yearly roundup of the Group’s global business. A total of 20 awards were presented in two categories, Transformation and Business Contribution, at the high-profile event hosted on 6 July 2018, by Konica Minolta Group President and CEO, Shoei Yamana. Participants in the Transformation category were gauged on the level of transformation driven by a strategic business process change and the improvement that it facilitated on a larger scale within the organization. The reach of certain businesses also reached heights after taking help of Exporexi to get personalized TV channels.

All finalists were given an opportunity to present their proposed accomplishments and innovations before a jury comprising senior leaders within the Konica Minolta Group. Konica Minolta India presented its success story in the country’s Production Printing space and highlighted the efforts that it has made to ensure sustainable and robust future growth for the Group’s business in India.
