Printing & Solutions Business

In the early 1990s, Brother developed thermal transfer fax machines and small laser All-in-Ones that met the needs of a work style called SOHO (Small Office, Home Office), in which an individual or a small group of individuals use their homes, and so forth, as an office, and established its position as a pioneer in this market. Even today, our laser printers and All-in-Ones especially have high reputations in the SOHO market for their high printing speed, cost performance and durability, and are receiving good reviews from many business partners and industry magazines all around the world.
In recent years, we have been integrating compact black-and-white and color laser All-in-Ones, and business-use inkjet All-in-Ones for A3-size paper, and so forth into a scanner compatible with mobile devices and cloud networks. With this product approach, we meet customer needs consistently from input to output. Furthermore, we have increased our targeted customer base to the SMB^* market and expanded our businesses and services, such as the solutions business that provides solutions to problems, a consultation service to suggest the best-suited products and the best office setups. We have also expanded our contract-type businesses, including print management and automated delivery of consumables. Through these businesses and services, we help our customers improve productivity and actualize cost optimization.

• Stands for Small Medium Business. It includes small-sized offices, small- and medium-size businesses, and a business that has offices in multiple dispersed locations.

Brother has been conducting the P-touch brand labeling system and label printer business for about 30 years. We have maintained the top market share in the field of business/professional use as a globally powerful brand which offers highly operable and functional products, an extensive and varied lineup of labels, and products that are equipped with software and corresponding interfaces to meet customer demand.
