Irvine, California
In response to record sales growth for its line of wide-format inkjet printers and integrated printer/cutters Roland DGA Corp. has strengthened its East Coast operations with a new product demonstration and training facility located in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, and a new supplies and accessories distribution center located near the Federal Express headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee.

New Demonstration & Traning Facility
The 2,600-square-foot Rhode Island facility features a state-of-the-art product demonstration and training center modeled after the company’s Roland University training academy located in Irvine, CA. Since its inception in 1999, Roland University has provided product training to hundreds of professionals nationwide with classes for both customers and resellers. The new training center will initially offer classes to Roland authorized resellers focused on the company’s popular VersaCAMM and SOLJET inkjets. In the future, the center will expand its course offering to include end-user workshops as well.

New Distribution Center
Through an agreement with Federal Express Logistics Services, Roland has established a new Memphis, Tennessee distribution center for its line of inkjet media, inks and supplies. This new distribution center will dramatically improve product delivery times and reduce costs to Roland customers across the eastern United States. The Roland supplies and accessories line includes more than 50 media products that have been strategically selected, profiled and certified for performance with the company’s inkjet line. Widely recognized for their performance and durability, Roland inks include the company’s new ECO-SOL MAX ink featured in all VersaCAMM and SOLJET inkjets.

“We are very pleased to offer our customers the benefits of an expanded East Coast presence, which will provide this important region with added sales, training and distribution support,” said Bob Curtis, president and CEO for Roland DGA Corp. “This expansion of our operations reflects our commitment to providing Roland resellers and customers nationwide with better access to our acclaimed sales support and product training programs. It will also enable us to more efficiently deliver our award-winning media line and other supplies to our East Coast customers.”
