Kyocera Document Solutions UK has named Westcoast as its new distributor for its ECOSYS devices. This represents an extension of the existing partnership between the two companies, with Westcoast now becoming a one-stop shop selling Kyocera’s A4 ECOSYS range of hardware and spare parts, alongside wholesale and fulfilment toner.
Kyocera and Westcoast will operate as a single, integrated team as part of the new partnership, with account managers at Kyocera working closely with channel managers at Westcoast to identify, pursue and close new business opportunities. After-sales customer care will also be handled in a coordinated fashion.
“Enhancing this partnership is a major development in our ongoing relationship with Westcoast,” said Martin Fairman, group sales and marketing director at Kyocera. “We’ve shared many successes in the past, so now is the ideal time for us to take our business to the next level, focusing on a holistic approach where Westcoast can offer our full portfolio of print products and services to their customers and partners. The expanded partnership also complements our existing wider distribution network, adding significantly to our overall channel capabilities.”
Ryan Mitchell, print director at Westcoast, added: “This partnership marks a significant step forward for both parties. By combining Kyocera’s product excellence with Westcoast’s distribution scale, stock depth and expert service, we’re delivering real value to our partners and end customers.”
