I think he's been there for a few months.

Anyone know for sure if he left Kyocera on his own to join GIS or if he was asked to leave?

He also may help Global in launching KIP Wide Format products nationwide, which will be one of their major business strategies during 2011 and into 2012.

He'll have a tough job, KIP is in a BAD financial situation.

GMAN,

I know some GIS locations have sold KIP, are KIP products already available nationwide or is this a new/forthcoming expansion?

In response to Art and GIntel, KIP is about to make a comeback of epic proportion that could feature Global prominently...

Thats what I'd like to hear, however AEC market is crap, wide format sales for every manufacturer is down and I can't see them living on the emerging markets.

You are from New Jersey if I'm not mistaken.

There is an old saying that if you know where the bodies are buried, you can get far in life.

Meaning, there are quite a few Wide Format machines out there ready to be upgraded, even with the slump we've seen in the AEC market for the past two years...

Very true Gman.

Just ask all the ex-IKON guys selling Canon now.

Plus (big plus)

With Xerox's exit from the wide format market, GIS has a lot of AEC bodies to dig up.

Plus (Smaller Plus)

Building is going to pick up eventually.

correct from NJ, large market place, however most in the AEC market are not looking to spend more but less.... With Ricohs intro of the W3601 which is more than the previous W3600, W2400 and 240W. With out a 4ppm system from Ricoh, most accounts will migrate away, or I have to face facts thatI'll never make money on wide format for the foreseeable future!
