The Definition of a Copier Manufacturer [In Under 100 Words]
August 22nd, 2018 | 1 min. read

A copier manufacturer is the original company that designs, builds, distributes and sells copiers. Popular brands include Xerox, Kyocera, Sharp, Ricoh, Konica Minolta, Canon, etc.
Most copier manufacturers have a complete line of copiers they sell through authorized dealers throughout the US.
Most consumers purchase or lease their copiers through authorized dealers rather than directly from the manufacturer because authorized dealers provide better pricing and support for local businesses. Since authorized dealers receive wholesale pricing from copier manufacturers, they’re able to pass these savings (and better customer care) on to consumers.
