Following Xerox’s acquisition of Lexmark, the company is rapidly consolidating operations across Europe, with Lexmark DACH chief Michael Lang now also taking control of Xerox operations in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The move signals a major integration effort inside the newly combined printing giant, as Xerox streamlines leadership, merges channel and government sales operations, and positions Lexmark executives at the center of its European restructuring strategy. Industry analysts say the decision likely points to future cost-cutting, dealer consolidation, and tighter coordination between the two legacy printer brands as Xerox attempts to rebuild its position in the highly competitive office printing market.
