Canon Europe announces the establishment of Canon Eurasia

LONDON, April 9 2008 – Canon Europe, world-leader in imaging solutions, has announced the formation of Canon Eurasia, along with the acquisition of the Canon Business Solutions (CBS) business of Hesmak, its long term reseller partner. This development will establish a new Canon company in Turkey, a dynamic growth market. Canon Eurasia represents a substantial investment by Canon in the region and is aligned with the company’s strategy to further accelerate growth.

Canon Eurasia will manage Canon’s interests in Turkey and Israel.  In Turkey Canon Eurasia is building on the long and successful partnership which Canon Europe has enjoyed with Hesmak over many years.   During this time, Hesmak has excelled in promoting the Canon brand and sales of Canon products in the Turkish market.

“Today’s announcement marks an important step towards the realisation of Canon’s potential in Turkey.

Canon Eurasia’s newly appointed Managing Director and Volume Business Country Director, Roman Troedthandl, firmly believes that the new company will take Canon’s business offering to a new level in the region. “With our expertise, knowledge and relationships, Canon Eurasia is set to be a strong organisation with enormous potential.”
