Konica Minolta, left orphaned for distribution in New Zealand after Fuji Xerox bought CSG, has appointed Brother International as its new local A3 print and copy distributor.

Brother International will now distribute Konica Minolta’s range of multi-function A3 office equipment and associated document solutions to its reseller network and will provide full technical and service support for customers throughout New Zealand. 

“The new relationship will provide the opportunity for loyal Konica Minolta customers to continue to use their world class technology, backed by Brother’s comprehensive service and support network,”  Brother announced this morning.

Formerly ASX-listed, CSG traded under the Konica Minolta brand until 2017 but was bought by rival Fuji Xerox in a A$140 million deal in February, effectively cutting off its major channel for distribution, sales and service.

Brother said it would also will expand its 24/7 NZ-based helpdesk and nationwide support network in the wake of the deal to provide full coverage for Konica Minolta products alongside its existing Brother service offering.
