BULLETIN
Following last year’s record exhibitor and
visitor numbers (since its integration into
the stationery and office supplies exhibition
Paperworld), Remanexpo has been revamped
and extended with a lecture programme and
industry awards ceremony.
The exhibition of remanufactured and compatible
printer supplies is being moved from Hall 3.1 to the
newly renovated Hall 6.0 near the Torhaus Entrance
and S-Bahn station and is expected to build on the
success of last year’s event.
Leading international players exhibiting in
January 2015 include Armor (France), Jet Tec/
DCI (Great Britain), Katun (The Netherlands), OCP
GmbH (Germany), Pedro Schöller Printservice
(Germany), Static Control (USA) and Uninet Imaging
Europe (Spain).
Phil Sneath, Commercial Director of Jet Tec/
DCI, said: “We are of the opinion that Remanexpo
is of inestimable value as a way of making contact
with potential customers and meeting international
wholesalers and importers for our recycled ink-jet
and toner cartridges. We expect an even bigger and
better event in 2015, particularly in the light of the
new location in Hall 6.0.”
In addition to the exhibition itself, Remanexpo
will be hosting an extensive lecture programme
and
The Recycler
industry award ceremony on
February 1, 2015.

Kyocera employees have starring role in new ads
KYOCERA Document Solutions UK is
refreshing its brand image with a £1 million
advertising campaign that puts its own
employees centre-stage.
Rob Attryde, Head of Marketing at KYOCERA,
said: “Extensive research showed that our
traditional brand messages were losing traction
and we were considering what could be a
significant differentiator for our business in the UK.
Research and feedback suggested that our people
are the common denominator of our success over
the last three years and as an authentic brand we
decided to use our own people in our new brand
images.
“We asked for staff volunteers and set up a
photo shoot in our Head Office earlier this year.
These images will appear across our advertising
(online, out-of-home, print), event stands, eDM,
websites, PR and marketing collateral so that every
element of our marketing communications will be
telling the KYOCERA story. What’s great for the
people involved is that their contribution to the
company and its growth is recognised and will be
highlighted in our marketing activity.”
Viva Las Vegas!
DSales (UK) Ltd, the UK distributor for
Develop multifunctional document imaging
systems, recently took 20 top sales people
from 10 dealers on a trip to Las Vegas in
recognition of their sales performance from
May to August 2014.
The winners of DSales’ most recent promotion
enjoyed a four-day trip, staying at the luxurious
five-star Wynn Hotel on South Las Vegas
Boulevard. Highlights included ATV driving in the
Mohave Desert; shooting automatic weapons;
NASCAR racing at the Las Vegas Speedway; and a
sunset helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon.
Jonathan Whitworth, Managing Director of
DSales, said: “They say what goes on in Vegas,
stays in Vegas, but I don’t think I would be telling
any tales if I said we had a fabulous trip with
memories that will last a lifetime. When you see
the sun setting on the Grand Canyon and then fly
back to Las Vegas at dusk as the city lights up, it’s
a terrific experience.”
