KYOCERA MITA America Enhances Channel Sales Opportunities Through Key Financing Partners

FAIRFIELD, N.J. – May 5, 2009 - Kyocera Mita America, Inc., one of the world's leading document solutions companies, today announced the expansion of its leasing program with the addition of GreatAmerica Leasing Corp. and Wells Fargo Financial Leasing, building upon Kyocera Mita America’s existing leasing program with GE Capital Solutions. All three partners actively support the financing efforts of Kyocera Mita America’s authorized dealerships, providing opportunities for end-users to select and finance Kyocera’s line of award-winning multifunctional products (MFPs) and ECOSYS® printers.

In offering competitive opportunities with three leading financial institutions, Kyocera is demonstrating its commitment to its dealership channel, and providing greater choice and flexibility in end-user financing options. According to the company, this is a particularly important development for channel partners in search of opportunistic growth in an economic downturn.

“Kyocera is dedicated to supporting its channel partners to provide the financial resources that enable them to succeed,” said Ed Bialecki, senior vice president, sales for Kyocera Mita America. “Our leasing partners provide the ability to offer the financing opportunities that businesses demand as they seek to reduce their spending and control costs. Kyocera document solutions already deliver superior reliability and one of the industry’s lowest Total Cost of Ownership (TCO); these agreements will help to extend that value proposition, while simplifying the acquisition process for both our dealers and their customers.”

Kyocera’s leasing options are available for the company’s entire portfolio of reliable and easy to use printer and MFP offerings, including their new TASKalfa MFPs and the ECOSYS printers. Designed to make people feel that their document imaging task is the most important task, the TASKalfa MFP line offers ultra-reliable and productive color and black & white printing, scanning, copying and faxing to address the needs of today’s demanding business environments.

The award-winning line of ECOSYS printers offer color and black & white capabilities in devices that utilize long life consumables while consistently delivering high-quality image output, a low total cost of ownership and environmental responsibility.
