Thunderbolt Solutions, which represents some of the world’s leading brands in the country, will distribute Kyocera Document Solutions’ first production press, the TASKAlfa Pro 15000c.

Thunderbolt Solutions is a household name in the print industry in South Africa and has long been associated with leading world-class brands. Technology trends have started to swing in favour of inkjet and our TASKalfa Pro 15000c has a strong value proposition, making it a beneficial addition to the Thunderbolt stable.  Commercial printers and print service providers are looking for high-speed, low-cost-per-copy printing solutions. With the introduction of the TASKalfa Pro 15000c to the Thunderbolt stable, there is an opportunity to offer this innovative product to their customers.

Runs have become shorter, requiring very short setup and job changeovers and deadlines are more time sensitive. At the same time, print quality is extremely important. The TASKalfa Pro 15000c offers high-quality printing, long-life components, and productivity that customers can rely on.

Kyocera is excited about the partnership as we will benefit from Thunderbolt Solution’s strong reputation as a leading supplier to the printing industry. In addition, future products developed by Kyocera in this segment will automatically have a well-defined route to market through the Thunderbolt sales network.
