Wide-format printer manufacturer Mutoh yesterday officially inaugurated its new Mutoh
Deutschland office in Düsseldorf, Germany, in the presence of Mr. M. Takayama, Chairman,
and Mr. T. Sato, President of Mutoh Holdings Co. Ltd, Tokyo, Japan. Next to a larger office
space, the new Mutoh Deutschland premises have an extensive demonstration centre staging
all latest Mutoh wide-format printer and cutter equipment.
“Germany is one of our key countries. First of all, the new office is located more centrally in Düsseldorf,” says Arthur Vanhoutte, Mutoh Deutschland’s and Mutoh Europe’s Managing Director.
“To better accommodate the needs of our successful Mutoh Certified Partner program in Germany, we also took the opportunity to establish a new and fully equipped demonstration centre, showing all Mutoh wide-format printers and cutting plotters at one central location. We also installed a
technical service department for after-sales support and hands-on service training of our local partners.”
“Mutoh Certified Partners from all over Germany will be able to book demos for interested
customers at Mutoh Deutschland throughout the year. The bigger size of our new premises will also enable us to organise dedicated dealer events, product launches, application trainings, etc… for the German-speaking market. With Düsseldorf airport at only 15 minutes, our new office will also be convenient for resellers of neighbouring countries for product demos and events”, Vanhoutte concludes.
