Konica Minolta wins A3 Line of the Year Award 2025 from Keypoint Intelligence

HONG KONG, 28 February 2025- Konica Minolta is proud to announce that it has received several awards from Keypoint Intelligence, the world’s leading independent evaluator of document imaging technology and services. The award acknowledges the capabilities of Konica Minolta’s multi-functional print devices (MFPs). Konica Minolta was named the winner of the prestigious 2025 A3 Line of the Year Award. Awards from Keypoint Intelligence give companies special recognition for their print and smart workplace technology and services, based on results from lab testing and/or market research.

Keypoint Intelligence was impressed by Konica Minolta’s broader A3 range, helping the company win the 2025 A3 Line of the Year Award from Keypoint Intelligence. The judges acknowledged “superior performance during Keypoint Intelligence’s testing across the entire A3 line,” and praised Konica Minolta for its “fresh, broad portfolio with a strong feature set that can meet and exceed the needs of hybrid working environments.” Konica Minolta’s MFPs are also cloud-enabled, allowing businesses to not only print and scan, but securely store and access documents in the cloud, providing employees with the flexibility to work from anywhere at any time.

Pete Emory, Director of Research & Lab Services NA/APAC at Keypoint Intelligence, commented on the performance of Konica Minolta’s A3 MFPs: “Our testing of Konica Minolta’s latest A3 MFPs revealed exceptional and consistent performance across the lineup, whether it was the 30 ppm, 45 ppm, or 75 ppm, mono or colour models. From the outset, these copier-based devices impressed us with their simplified setup process and robust administrative capabilities, making fleet setup and management seamless. Once operational, the devices demonstrated outstanding efficiency, professional-looking print quality, and excellent usability. The walk-up experience is intuitive and consistent across the range—whether using the bizhub C301i or the C751i, Konica Minolta’s design, performance, and user experience were indistinguishable.” 

The security features of Konica Minolta’s devices were also acclaimed, with the awards emphasizing their “robust security offering to safeguard sensitive data and mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to the device and network.”

We are extremely excited and driven by this recognition of our A3 MFP series and will endeavour to help our customers optimize both their internal and external customer experiences with our extensive portfolio of products, solutions and services.
