supply each other with equipment.The agreement will see the companies

TOKYO,
Jan 08 – Japanese office equipment maker Konica Minolta Holdings said
it had agreed with Dutch photocopier and printer maker Oce NV to
mutually supply multifunctional peripherals and digital commercial
printers.Multifunctional peripherals (MFPs) typically offer printer,
copier and facsimile functions, while digital commercial printers are
used to print such documents as product manuals and direct mail quickly
and in large volumes.Konica Minolta and Oce will supply each other with
MFPs and digital commercial printers on an original equipment
manufacturing (OEM) basis to strengthen their product lineups.In an OEM
deal, a manufacturer makes products under the brand name of a buyer,
who in turn sells them to end-users.In the area of digital commercial
printing, Konica Minolta is set to provide basic machines to Oce, while
the Dutch firm will supply Konica Minolta with mid-range to high-end
products.A Konica Minolta spokesman said it was too early to assess the
impact of the deal on sales or profits.Shares in Konica Minolta closed
down 3.9 percent at 1,729 yen, underperforming the Nikkei average
.N225, which fell 1.0 percent.
