Kyocera wins 12 BLI 2024 Awards, including A3 Line of the Year, from Keypoint Intelligence

Schiphol-Rijk, The Netherlands–Kyocera Document Solutions Europe, B.V., one of the world’s leading document solutions companies, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded 12 Buyers Lab (BLI) 2024 Awards by Keypoint Intelligence, including the BLI 2024 A3 Line of the Year Award and the BLI 2024-26 Most Colour Consistent A3 Brand Award. These recognitions underscore the company’s enduring commitment to offering reliable, high-quality, and innovative products that enable customers to succeed. 

The 2024 A3 Line of the Year Award from Keypoint Intelligence, a leading market research firm, was granted after thorough testing of Kyocera’s entire A3 lineup. Kyocera’s A3 devices exhibited superior performance during this testing, and Keypoint Intelligence acknowledged consistently strong reliability, ease of use and image quality. 

The research firm also pointed to the reuse of empty black toner bottles from Kyocera’s A3 machines as waste toner containers as a particularly
impressive highlight.

This award serves as a reminder that Kyocera boasts a broad portfolio of A3 products that can meet and exceed the requirements of hybrid working environments. 

“We are honoured to receive this prestigious recognition for our A3 line of devices,” says Takuya Marubayashi, President of Kyocera Document Solutions Europe, B.V. “Priding ourselves as true innovators, at Kyocera we put our cutting-edge technology at the service of our customers’ evolving needs. This latest recognition inspires us to aim even higher.”

Kyocera also received the 2024-2026 Most Colour Consistent A3 Brand Award. This award considers results from the last five years of colour-consistency analysis. Results showed that Kyocera devices are reliable, and stand the test of time, with their colour quality remaining consistent throughout their lifecycles. This means customers are making a solid investment in a machine that will perform at a consistently high level for years to come.

In addition, Keypoint Intelligence recognised Kyocera with 2024 Pick Awards for the following 10 devices:

• TASKalfa 4054ci
• TASKalfa 5054ci
• TASKalfa 6054ci
• TASKalfa 7054ci
• TASKalfa MZ3200i
• TASKalfa MZ4000i
• TASKalfa 4004i*
• TASKalfa 5004i
• TASKalfa 6004i
• TASKalfa 7004i

Businesses today need to be able to perform their daily operations without worrying about factors that can negatively impact workflows. Therefore, they require reliability in their printing devices, as well as fast print-out times, quality finishes, and the ability to print in multiple formats. This is how competitive companies stay ahead and meet strict deadlines in today’s fast-paced and intense business world. Kyocera’s printers offer all of this and more, a fact highlighted by Keypoint Intelligence’s recognitions.

Our devices are user-friendly, easy to maintain, and meet the evolving needs of our busy customers. They are designed to minimise downtime and maximise productivity, reduce energy consumption, and optimise workflows. These factors are more important than ever as energy prices rise and pressure to be more sustainable increases. Our commitment to meeting our customers’ ever-changing needs contributed to Kyocera’s Pick Awards this year.

Kyocera’s founder, Dr. Kazuo Inamori, once said, “Those who aim high will reap great success.” The company’s BLI Awards this year are further evidence of the enduring impact of those words, which continue to serve as a North Star for Kyocera and drive its approach to creating increasingly innovative solutions for customers.
