Japan’s Konica Minolta celebrated 150 years last year. Today the company’s expertise includes core technologies such as materials, optics, nanofabrication and imaging, and the company is delivering innovations to key markets around the world.
With a dynamic economy, a business- focused young generation and strong government support, Turkiye is proving to be an increasingly important market — one in which Konica Minolta Turkiye Is Teknolojileri A.S. (Konica Minolta Turkiye) is gaining a healthy share.
“By bringing together Konica Minolta’s advanced technologies with our commitment to serving local customers, we deliver solutions to clients across Turkiye,” said Mustafa Yilmaz, managing director of Konica Minolta Turkiye.
The company’s solutions include electronic document management and workflow management systems, quality document management and optical character recognition systems and barcode and pattern recognition software.
“Konica Minolta has been active in the Turkish market for over 30 years and, since acquiring the distributor Trans Teknik in 2012, we have become the industry leader,” Yilmaz said.
“Around 50% of our business is done in Istanbul, (and about) 50% in cities across Turkiye where we have branch offices and growing dealership networks.”
As the business grows, sustainable solutions are creating business opportunities, said Marketing Director Ozge Zambakoglu.
“As a highly respected company in Turkiye, we work closely with our team to strengthen the brand and provide clients with sustainable solutions. As followers of aikido, the modern Japanese martial art, we encourage our teams to train their state of mind and physical condition. This positive approach inspires our employees and allows us to take on the competition with a positive attitude,” Zambakoglu said.
Konica Minolta Turkiye’s digital experience solutions reduce the need for Turkish companies to print paper, and tree-planting ceremonies and green initiatives continue to drive the company’s “Greener and Safer World” philosophy.
“While we recognize the industry is changing, we are committed to bringing the best solutions to our customers,” Yilmaz said.
Industry experience has enabled Konica Minolta Turkiye to develop into a reliable artificial intelligence partner for the Turkish manufacturing industry.
The company’s AI “machine vision solution” is Forxai. This adaptive AI video analytics software learns and predicts, enabling it to detect defects and ensure quality inspections in sectors such as logistics, automotive, food and industrial manufacturing.
“Our new technologies and initiatives are creating excitement in the Turkish market,” Yılmaz said.
“We look forward to strengthening our reputation as we continue to support and inspire the Turkish business community.”
