Antalis is set to acquire Xerox’s paper business in European, Middle East Africa (EMEA) thus becoming the sole distributor of Xerox-branded papers in the region.
While this new deal encompasses 40 countries and spans Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Africa, India, and the Middle East, Antalis will gain exclusive marketing and distribution rights for Xerox digital printing media and office papers.
According to Antalis CEO Hervé Poncin; “While our strategy remains to develop in fast-growing countries and high-potential markets such as packaging, we have always affirmed the need to participate in the consolidation of the paper distribution business. It is essential for us to maintain strong positions in our markets and to improve the profitability of our office paper activities,” he added.
