Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd has expanded its Client Engagement Centre (CEC) to help customers explore the potential of digital workplace transformation in their organisation and across key sectors and departments.
The enhanced facility in Houghton Regis near Luton now provides customers with a single, immersive environment to experience the complete breadth of Konica Minolta’s digital workplace, print, and intelligent video solutions alongside its wider Production Print (PP) and Industrial Print (IP) solutions – all under one roof.
The expansion marks the second phase of the CEC’s development and represents one of Konica Minolta’s most significant investments in the UK. Rob Ferris, Chief Executive Officer of Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK) Ltd, commented: “This is an important moment for our business and our customers. The expanded CEC brings our entire portfolio to life in one place and shows how our product lines work together to solve real customer challenges. It is a key part of our journey in the UK and demonstrates the strength of Konica Minolta’s imaging heritage across print, video, and digital transformation technologies.”
The CEC serves as a central hub for customer engagement, enabling tailored discovery and innovation workshops, pre‑sales conversations, partner forums, and tailored demonstrations. With 75% of customer visits resulting in a sale, the CEC continues to prove the value of co-innovation and discovery through to live, real‑world demonstrations of customer value.

- Commercial Print & Publication Services

By bringing all our Workplace Transformation Solutions into the space, we can now demonstrate the full scale, speed, and safety of our solutions in a single environment. Customers aren’t looking for products – they’re looking for answers to real‑world problems. The CEC allows us to show exactly how we deliver those outcomes.”
The expanded CEC also strengthens Konica Minolta’s position as a trusted partner for digital transformation across the UK. With 98% of visitors recommending the experience, the centre has become a destination for discovery, collaboration, and sector‑specific innovation.

It’s exciting to be expanding on this impressive space and experience that reflects our values.
UK hub for collaboration, innovation and growth
The CEC also continues to host industry events, open days, roundtables, and partner sessions, including those with the IPIA, Picon, and BPIF, reinforcing its role as a collaborative hub for the wider print and digital workplace community.
