Impika, based in Aubagne, France, sells its products to print providers through its direct sales force and through a global network of channel partners, including Xerox, which has been reselling the Impika brand in Europe since 2011, and recently expanded to several developing markets. In addition to Xerox’s existing xerographic production presses, the company developed and markets the world’s only high-speed waterless inkjet presses, the Xerox CiPress Production Inkjet Systems.The production inkjet market is projected to grow 21 percent annually through 2015, according to market research firm I.T. Strategies.
By adding Impika technology to its offerings, Xerox will now go to market with the industry’s broadest range of digital presses, strengthening its leadership in digital color production printing. “A hallmark of Xerox’s long-term success is our focus on innovation, and Impika has demonstrated an innovative approach to advanced production inkjet printing that complements Xerox’s technology,” said Jeff Jacobson, president of Xerox’s Graphic Communications Operations. “We have established leadership in serving the graphic communication marketplace. With Impika as part of our broader set of solutions, we’re bolstering our brand strength and better serving the market with digital products, solutions and resources to meet the needs of print providers so they can satisfy their clients and grow their businesses.”
