VIDEO: Ricoh’s Carsten Bruhn Prepares Dealers to Look Ahead

In our latest Interview Insights, Keypoint Intelligence’s Anthony Sci sat down with Carsten Bruhn, President and CEO of Ricoh North America. Together, the duo discussed several topics related to dealers, including what Sci referred to as a “Culture of Excellence” at Ricoh. Bruhn addressed a lot of content that is often introduced at Ricoh’s dealer summits, including the belief that dealers need to start growing again. The most recent proposal from the company to encourage dealers’ growth is their supply chain-as-a-service concept, which should allow dealers to not have to worry about carrying inventory as well as allow them to preconfigure products via a supply chain.

Beyond the Big Shops: Small Firms, Big Impact

In wide format printing, much of the conversation tends to focus on large commercial print operations. These facilities, often equipped with high-throughput machines and national client rosters, represent only part of the industry’s reality. What is frequently overlooked are the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that form most of the market in terms of number of companies and contribute significantly to its direction. These firms do not operate at massive scale, but they play a critical role in defining market responsiveness and innovation. Their close ties to local businesses give them unique visibility into emerging needs and shifting customer behaviors. As a result, their strategic and operational decisions often serve as early indicators of broader industry trends. Our new report Beyond the Big Shops – A Market Study of SMEs in Wide Format Printing examines these enterprises in detail. It provides a research-backed view into their business models, investment patterns, and technology priorities. The findings are essential for any stakeholder looking to understand the full scope of the market.

That said, you can’t analyze anything without something to focus on, and we’ve decided to take a look at format size. Specifically, we will explore some key shifts, growth opportunities, and vendor strategies for the B2 market.
