Is The Time Right for Copiers to be Made in The USA Again?

Art Post ·
If you've been in the copier industry as long as I have, then you'll remember that Xerox and Kodak manufactured copiers in United States. In later years Kodak removed themselves from the SMB market for copiers and Xerox finally succumbed to outsourcing their copier manufacturing to Fuji-Xerox. In a recent press release HP stated they wanted to reinvent the $55 billion dollar copier industry. Since, I'm looking for numbers, I figured the evaluation of the entire copier industry was a good...

I wonder if there is a preferred supplier of copiers to the Trump organization? Any arm twisting would likely start there. With the USA's withdrawal from the TPP, a relocation of the copier industry seems unlikely. Multiple copier manufacturers already produce their toner in the USA. Living in Canada, with the high US $, a copier produced in the USA would be a distinct disadvantage. I am reasonably certain that the USA is the largest market for copiers in the world.

Lots of manufacturers used to make the claim assembled in the US, Ricoh and Xerox in particular. I would very much welcome marketing products not made in China Singapore, Thailand and the like- we have lots of capable workers here in the US. The big question is- how much of a premium will be tacked on?

I used to be in the manufacturing of Servers for HP (working for a Contractor to them). Eventually, we lost the contract to a competitor, in another state, because their labor was going to be $2 a machine less. This of course builds up with thousands of units. Eventually, the whole contract went first to Mexico, then to Singapore (we were already getting most of our sub-assemblies from Singapore anyway), and eventually to China. I went for one state to the other, then almost went to Mexico...

MichaelP16 That's some awesome insight about manufacturing in Asia. We can build cars here in the US and brands like Ford, GM and Chrysler are now profitable. Even the Japanese have factories here for cars. You never know! Ty for the post

This Week in the Copier Industry 5 Years Ago

Art Post ·
This Week in the Copier Industry Five Years Ago Second Week of August 2017 sponsored by I think the number of copier brands in the US market in 1984 was 29 brands. Now that is a hell of a lot of brands. Brands like Sanyo, AB Dick, 3M, IBM, KIP, Monroe, Oce, Olivetti and many more can only be seen or remembered in print. Only five of those brands 1984 still market copier aka MFPs today. It was also interesting to see that Konica was not a marketed brand in 1984. Canon, Ricoh, Sharp, Toshiba...
