KYOCERA Document Solutions Inc.

KYOCERA MITA Corporation is the result of the January 2000 merger of KYOCERA Corporation and Mita Industrial Company – two of the most innovative companies in document management – thereby combining digital imaging and reproduction, cartridge-free long-life and low-cost page printing. The resultant acceleration in the convergence of networked document management systems has positioned KYOCERA MITA as a total solutions provider for any print, copy, scan or fax requirements.

A wide range of advanced, environmentally friendly products is manufactured and marketed by the company, all of which offer significantly low total cost of ownership (“TCO”) and high reliability.

The full range of KYOCERA Document Solutions office automation devices are simple to both manage and use. Moreover, by incorporating an ECOSYS technology concept, KYOCERA Document Solutions has developed and implemented long-life components throughout the device range. This technology delivers a number of benefits, notably improved reliability, reduced environmental impact and the lowest TCO in the industry. These hardware strengths, combined with the latest digital and network technologies, places KYOCERA Document Solutions at the forefront of the office automation industry.

The proven KYOCERA controller and its unique intelligent programming language, PRESCRIBE, is also implemented in all KYOCERA Document Solutions printers and multifunctional products (“MFPs”). By utilizing common components for printers and MFPs, KYOCERA Document Solutions has greater purchasing power for parts, such that the final products are remarkably cost competitive.

End users also benefit from the capacity of KYOCERA Document Solutions products to provide consistent solutions for printers and MFPs. In addition, KYOCERA's proven technology – notably the amorphous silicon drum and other long-life components – has been incorporated in all KYOCERA Document Solutions MFPs, yielding highly reliable products with longer service intervals and significantly lower TCO.

KYOCERA Document Solutions Corporation currently has 12 160 employees worldwide.
