Konica Minolta put printing technology to work in "100 Percent Green" office

CTWP, a local Konica Minolta dealer partner, was able to improve on its already successful 30-year relationship with the Waco Chamber of Commerce, with the recent installation of two new bizhub MFPs at the Waco Chamber of Commerce’s 100 percent green building. The Greater Waco Chamber is an advocate for green business practices and outstanding efforts to promote environmental standards for living, working and playing. By upgrading to the bizhub office systems, the Chamber has been able to leverage the systems’ networking features to make it possible for the whole organization to access the machines.

"We have set the green standard as the first Chamber in the United States to reach for the highest level both for ourselves and our members, and we are thrilled that CTWP and Konica Minolta were able to help us increase our green efforts, as well as save us time and money," said Lesly Rascoe, vice president of communications for the Greater Waco Chamber. "We do business with Chamber members only and have never wavered in our commitment to working with CTWP. They have always provided us with the best Konica Minolta products, technology and service and have allowed us to seamlessly upgrade to the bizhub systems, which is saving us considerable time, money and allowing us to be even more green.

CTWP was recently honored at the 2009 Business Awards Banquet for their long-standing community involvement and commitment to enhancing the economic stability of Greater Waco.

The Waco Chamber of Commerce’s new building was unveiled June 6, 2008, at 101 S. Third St. at Heritage Square. The building is a landmark site in downtown Waco and seeking LEEDTM certification through the U.S. Green Building Council. It is the first in a three-block, $75-million mixed-use development downtown and houses the staff and committees of the Greater Waco Chamber and functions as a marketing center for the region.

"We value our partnership with the Chamber and are thrilled to have been able to upgrade their Konica Minolta technology, saving them precious time and money," said Roxanne Burnett, Sales Representative CTWP. "We were honored to recently have been awarded the 2009 Business Award from the Chamber and look forward to continuing our relationship by providing the Chamber with future Konica Minolta technology upgrades, marketing support and more."

"We are excited to have our award-winning products selected to be an integral part of the Chamber’s green initiatives, and appreciate the work of CTWP to bring it all together, said Kevin Kern, Vice President, Marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. Inc. "The Chamber is a great example of what’s possible when innovative organizations come together to create green solutions, and proves our customers can count on Konica Minolta to assist in meeting their eco-friendly goals."
