Besides, the company, which is a preferred partner and distributor of Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe in Nigeria and Ghana, has outlets and service centres in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano where German-trained engineers provide expertise, training and technical support to their customers in printing business.

However, it took years of perseverance and the passion of Izzat Debs, managing director, Skysat Technologies Nigerian Limited, to grow the competence and confidence in the business, resulting in the company becoming a force to reckon with in printing industry in the countries they operate.

To further aid printing companies and businesses across the country to key into modern business model, especially digital printing, Skysat Technologies recently launched the Bizhub Press C1100/C1085 brand of Konica Minolta, a top range production printer to the Nigerian business community.

Demonstrating the usage of the printer to customers and the public at the launch, L.P Kosalraman, technical manager of the company, noted that Bizhub Press C1100/C1085 is a one-stop-shop production printer, the first of its kind in Nigeria and also the most efficient tool for enhancing businesses and services of customers.
