Oki Data Builds New Printer Plant in Scotland
Tokyo
Nov 2005- Oki Data announced on November 14 that its production
subsidiary Oki (UK) Ltd. has moved into a new plant it has just built
in Scotland. At the new plant, Oki UK manufactures consumable supplies
and options for printers and multifunction printers (MFPs) as well as
custom printers for shipment in Europe.
Built on a 49,109m2 site,
the new plant has a manufacturing space of 6,000m2, about the same size
as the previous facility, and has increased its production capacity by
30% by reducing the process and improving production efficiency.
With
the new plant up and running, Oki aims to design an optimal supply
chain and reduce costs while meeting a growing demand. The company
plans to ship 600,000 units of printers and MFPs in Europe in fiscal
2005.
