Celebrating 50 years of Kyocera in Europe

An open letter from Takuya Marubayashi
Takuya Marubayashi

As President of Kyocera Document Solutions Europe Management B.V., I am immensely proud to celebrate 50 years of successful partnerships and business in Europe. This milestone is not just a testament to our past achievements, but a springboard into a future burning bright with potential.

From our inception, we have been at the forefront of developing sustainable, innovative technologies and fostering a management style that encourages collaboration and growth. 

Kyocera's journey in Europe began as a promising Japanese technology company specialising in fine ceramics. Today, Kyocera Document Solutions stands as a leading provider of business technologies across the continent, with 17 Sales Companies and over 60 international partners throughout the EMEA region.

It is an honor to lead Kyocera Document Solutions within Europe, an industry leader in office technology, software solutions, and commercial printing. Our relentless pursuit of perfection and our commitment to meeting our customers’ evolving needs are the driving forces behind our innovations.

Throughout the past fifty years, we have reached numerous milestones, such as the development of the ECOSYS concept. Our ECOSYS printers and MFPs have set new standards for sustainable and efficient office print solutions. Our innovative nature led us to develop an eco-friendly and economic line of printers and MFPs known as the ECOSYS line. 1992 saw the release of Kyocera Document Solutions’ first ECOSYS printer, the ECOSYS FS-1500. With ECOSYS printers, the environmental impact of printing is minimised by extended-life printer parts. This reduces waste, meaning the customer also spends less on consumables and replacement parts. Governments the world over are pushing for a greater focus on green innovation and companies are implementing more sustainable solutions to meet eco goals. The ECOSYS range exemplifies Kyocera’s legacy of sustainability and commitment to an environmentally friendly future. Additionally, local regional toner recycling programs and our award-winning paper packaging that uses less plastic underscore our commitment to sustainability. 

Moreover, our forward-thinking mindset drove us to introduce an environmental friendly concept into the exciting world of production printing. 2020 saw a huge leap forward for Kyocera Document Solutions when our first production printer, the TASKalfa Pro 15000c was introduced. This high-efficiency, low-energy machine was the culmination of decades of experience and it now provides companies with unrivalled return on investment for their production printing needs by using Kyocera’s industry-famous inkjet printhead technology and environmentally safe water-based inks, making them reliable, versatile, and sustainable.

At Kyocera, our proud history inspires our bright future.”

Today, we are pioneering sustainable, affordable, and efficient high-volume printing with our proprietary inks and printheads and high-speed commercial printers. These achievements are a testament to the incredible individuals who comprise the Kyocera family. I am deeply grateful to our employees at our Netherlands headquarters and across Europe who have dedicated decades to building our brand.

Our success is also due to the strong, enduring partnerships we have formed with European businesses. These partners embody our shared values and have been instrumental in bringing comprehensive document solutions to our customers. I extend my heartfelt thanks to our partners for their outstanding collaboration and ambition. Together, we have built a legacy that will endure for decades more.

While our proud history inspires us, we know that continuous innovation is essential for future success. 

With our colleagues across Europe, we will stay true to reinforcing our commitment to sustainable innovation, quality, and efficiency. Above all, our customers will remain at the heart of everything we do. These core values are what distinguish Kyocera.

It has been a privilege to lead this organization over the past six years, and I look forward to guiding us toward an even more prosperous future in Europe.

Kind regards,

Takuya Marubayashi
President 
Kyocera Document Solutions Management B.V
