U-Bix Four Decade Marks Portfolio Expansion



Growing and developing is what U-Bix Corporation has been doing in the past four decades. They are the country's source when it comes to one-stop solutions for the office and production printing industry. With today's technology, the digital world, the corporation sees major growth opportunities in providing better services.

Last February, U-Bix Corporation celebrates their 40th year celebration at Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati City and their Founder, Chairman and CEO, Atty. Edilberto Bravo shared "Nowadays, the fast-changing digital and networked world offers tremendous potential, and U-Bix is well-positioned to continue leading the market change."
Atty. Bravo shared the innovations that U-Bix pioneered since its earliest days, according to him "we started operations in 1974 by launching the first plain paper copier, which made ubiquitous carbon copies obsolete. We followed through with color copiers which made documents more effective communication tools. Our portfolio includes Risograph machines that relegated mimeographed cooies to relics of the past. We brougt technology innovations that have greatly increased quality, functionality and flexibility in office copying and printing."

While U-Bix still leads in the copier business, it has expanded into multi-functional peripherals and production printing equipment. It has extended into related niches like office furniture and facilities
management services. Atty. Bravo said that "We've seen major growth in all these office and document-related areas. Looking forward, we are excited to bring step-change technologies like 3D printing, specialization photo-printing, network connectivity and much more to our customers."
In 2007, U-Bix acquired Kodak Philippines' Kodak Imaging Center operation. Rebranded as the U-Bix Imaging Center (UIC), the new division focuses on end-to-end conversion, digitization and management of documents. At the opening of its products and services exhibit, U-Bix general manager Eduardo Reyes noted how the company integrates and adds value to a document throughout and beyond its life-cycle. "Aside from printing and copying documents, we now convert them digitally to make them easily searchable and retrievable, and store them safely both physically and vitually." The company expects UIC to be a source of significant growth in the future, particularly as businesses and the government place high priority on digitally imaging records and data.
Recognizing superior customer service as its unique strength, Atty. Bravo recalled how U-Bix was the first to make the remarkablenpromise that its service engineers would respond to customer calls in 2 hours or less. It continues to make good on that promisen35 years later, and is accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Thanking their longtime business partners Konica, Minolta, Okamura, Riso, Kagaku,
ServiceMaster and Aramark, Atty. Bravo remarked that "our partners' world-class productsnand our superior customer service make for an ideal fit. This drove U-Bix's growth over the past four decades."
Reflecting on U-Bix's 40th anniversary milestones, Atty. Bravo said "I like to think of our company as 40 years yiung, and only just beginning. As I look to the future, I'm confident that the best is yet to come."
