DMC will also market Kyocera Mita's KYOprint pack all-inclusive manage print solution.
Commenting on the agreement Kyocera Mita's IT sales manager Charlotte Elmer said: "Following another record year for Kyocera Mita UK we are focusing on expanding our reach through the distribution channel.
"We are delighted to welcome DMC as a business partner and we are confident that the company's expertise in the business machine sector and commitment to customer service will pay dividends for the Kyocera Mita brand."
Promoting a range
As part of the agreement DMC will focus specifically on promoting Kyocera Mita's recently launched range of A3 ECOSYS colour and mono MFPs. The FS-6025MFP, FS-6030MFP, FS-C8020MFP and FS-C8025MFP offer the simplicity and economy of A4 devices, with the added bonus of A3 functionality.

"This unique offering will open up greater revenue streams and product ranges for all of our customers. With the added benefit of a Printpack that includes onsite maintenance, cost per copy billing and a revenue stream back to the customer, we can now offer a true managed print service to all of our customers, even if they are not from a traditional office equipment background.
"By partnering Kyocera Mita, our customers will get greater choice and an improved service. We are very happy to be working with such an innovative brand," said Kelly.
Kyocera Mita UK has enjoyed significant growth over the past three financial years, with FY2011 turnover 30% higher than FY2010. The company operates a 100% indirect strategy in order to offer maximum benefit to its customers through the expertise of its selected channel partners.
