Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe and i-PRO have announced a strategic partnership to deliver advanced imaging and security technologies across the European region. The collaboration combines Konica Minolta’s strength in system integration and customer support with i-PRO’s portfolio of AI-enabled video solutions, including edge-AI cameras and the Active Guard system.
The partnership supports Konica Minolta’s strategy to strengthen its Video Solution Services by offering smarter, scalable, and secure environments for industries such as critical infrastructure, retail, education, manufacturing, and smart cities. Through its extensive sales and service network, Konica Minolta will distribute and support i-PRO technologies, making them accessible to system integrators and end users across the region.
“This new partnership with i-PRO is a complement to our cooperation with Mobotix. Both product lines will continue to be offered, with each serving distinct customer needs and use cases,” said Vaclav la Rose, Head of Video Solution Services Europe at Konica Minolta. “The addition of i-PRO enhances our ability to deliver broader end-to-end security and beyond-security solutions.”
Jose Riolobos, President of i-PRO EMEA B.V., added: “Since its establishment in 2019, i-PRO has been building market-leading partnerships worldwide. This partnership strengthens our presence in Europe and enables our edge computing product lineup to help solve a broader range of social and operational challenges.”
Inoue Shintaro, Head of Sales, Imaging and Automation Business Division, Imaging-IoT Business Unit at Konica Minolta, emphasized: “We are confident that our collaboration with i-PRO in the European region will deliver significant business value. Our complementary competencies and high standards will benefit both organisations—and most importantly, our European customers.”
By joining forces, Konica Minolta and i-PRO aim to bring more choice, flexibility, and innovation to the European security market, combining leading-edge imaging technologies with proven service expertise.
