SKYSAT Technologies, partner of Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe GmbH, proudly hosted its first DEVELOP DEALER CONFERENCE on Tuesday, 20th of November, 2018 at Sheraton Ikeja Hotel, Lagos, Nigeria. Building on its success as a leader in Digital Printing & document management solutions, SKYSAT launched the DEVELOP Brand in Nigeria & Ghana to cater for its numerous clients in government, education, corporate and commercial sector. The DEVELOP brand will be sold exclusively through a network of approved and trained Dealers (no online or direct sales to end-users).
The Conference had many dealers in attendance from all around Nigeria and Ghana and it was indeed fabulous learning about the new Brand from Konica and what it can offer. In the words of The Senior Executive Indirect Sales – Konica Minolta Business Solutions Europe GmbH, David Nuttall, DEVELOP is not just about printing; it’s about offering professional office communication solutions. One interesting feature about the DEVELOP Multifunction Printers and Copiers is that the machines can be customized by the dealers so as to retain their brand name; dealers will be empowered and their sales representatives and engineers will be properly trained.
To be a dealer depends on a couple of factors such as a very strong business plan, capacity to sell in retail at a very large quantity, geographical location, business plan/proposal which will include your proposed clients etc. Get in touch with the team and they’re sure to give you more details on this.

The Managing Director, SKYSAT Technologies – Izzat Debs explained during an interview with Printers Buyers Guide Crew that the DEVELOP Brand is a German product that has a Japanese engine. He made us understand that Konica and Minolta came together to form what we know today as Konica Minolta which has been in existence for over a hundred years. Thus, it’s a German technology coupled with a Japanese technology. The Lens is a German technology while the printing head is a Japanese technology. He stated that the company is confident that the brand will be successful just as Konica Minolta has been successful and the dealers will be trained and empowered to be successful in their businesses. “For the DEVELOP brand, the sky is surely the limit and today being the first day of our launch, strategies and plans are in place and the DEVELOP Brand has come to stay”, he said.
