ABG Print Works with Japanese Company to Implement Environmentally Sustainable Strategy
New York City’s Leading 24 Hour Printing Company Adds Konica Minolta Digital Press to Increase Productivity and Environmental Sustainability.
New York, NY, April 09, 2011 --(PR.com)-- ABG Print announced today that its New York City based print facility is adding a new state-of-the art digital printing press to join its growing suite of printing and binding technology. The new equipment will help ABG Print handle a variety of print projects that require careful color definition and a sharp, high quality finish. To achieve these results, ABG Print selected Japanese company Konica Minolta after an extensive and in-depth evaluation of digital print technology.
“Today printing companies need to be creative with the way they work and the technology they use,” said Michael J. Mulligan, President of ABG Print. “Working with a company like Konica Minolta puts us on the right playing field. The company’s outlook aligns well with ours; the company empowers customers with technology and innovation. Technology is what promotes efficiency and change fast in today’s marketplace.”
The new Konica Minolta digital press will give ABG’s customers the opportunity to print materials that yield offset results with clean and solid colors, no striations and discoloration, an effect that is often produced by traditional digital presses. Further, the press’s polymerized toners are designed to come on smooth and flat; the toner also uses a special formula to reproduce ultra-fine image detail.
“We decided to work with Konica Minolta because their equipment supports a wide variety of stocks and textures,” said Mr. Mulligan. “One of our goals this year as a business is to produce more varieties of print media in less time and with less waste and effects to our environment. Konica Minolta is the right choice for this; their research and development aligns with the most up-to-date environmental standards.”
Konica Minolta was established in 2003 after a powerful and strategic merger of two Japanese imaging firms Konica and Minolta. The company is now known as a manufacturer of office equipment, medical imaging, graphic imaging, optical devices and measuring instruments. Its main headquarters are located in Tokyo Japan with sales offices worldwide including its Konica Minolta Business Solutions headquarters in Ramsey, New Jersey. The company’s growth stems from years of innovation, research and development of sustainable business systems and principles.
In a March 2011 company press release, Kevin Kern, Senior Vice President of Marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A., Inc said, "Throughout our long and storied history, Konica Minolta has been a global leader in developing best practices and technologies designed with the environment in mind – saving energy, minimizing pollution and reducing environmental impact through the entire life cycle of our products.”
Early this year, Konica Minolta won major awards for its sound environmental standards and practices. On February 4th 2011, Konica Minolta was recognized as the 2011 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World and on March 8th 2011 the company was awarded the SAM Silver Class which recognizes companies that support environmental sustainability. A pioneer in developing eco-friendly technologies and business culture, Konica Minolta plans to reduce its CO2 emissions by 20% by 2015 and 80% by 2050.
“Companies are much different today; they are no longer just concerned with speed and quality, they want to make sure they have a positive impact on their environment,” said Mr. Mulligan. “Sustainability starts with the technology and materials you use. Customers want to know that the inks they use are environmentally safe, that their stock is recycled and that their materials are printed the most efficient way.”
ABG Print is working hard to create a sustainable culture for its staff and customers. It recognizes that a company not only needs to provide quality, fast service at competitive prices, but it needs to provide eco-friendly options. As a first step, ABG Print recently developed a relationship with Japanese company Toyo Ink Group, and plans to use its solvent-free and soy-based inks in its Long Island City offset facility.
“We want to push our business to new limits,” said Mr. Mulligan. “Konica Minolta will help us get there by accommodating a variety of project types which increase print output and decrease our carbon footprint.”
