Thermal Transfer Business Introduction:
Fujicopian Japan and FCUSA have reached an agreement to appoint PIT (Palmetto Imaging Technology, LLC) as the Exclusive Distributor of TTR business in North and South America. This change will ultimately lead to a better service proposition and a more competitive offering in the demanding Thermal Transfer Ribbon growth markets of North and South America.
Effective May 17th, 2013, the Thermal transfer ribbon (TTR) business of Fujicopian USA shall be handled by PIT in this region. PIT has been a business partner of Fujicopian for many years. PIT previously acquired the NA/SA impact ribbon business of Fujicopian Japan in 2002 and also acts as a converter/partner of FC USA on TTR jumbo rolls to slit rolls.
The effective date of the change to PIT was May 17, 2013. The change largely will be transparent to existing customers and communication will be the same.
Fujicopian Japan will continue to offer their customary support to PIT in the same manner they always have to FC USA. It is our intention to continue to increase our market share in these regions through the Exclusive Distributorship of PIT on Fujicopian’s TTR Products.
