Long Island Business News reported that Canon Solutions America will merge into Canon USA on January 1. What does this mean for Canon USA (CUSA) and Canon Solutions America (CSA)? Not much from what we can tell. .

The news is being reported by Long Island Business News and can be seen here. 

In the past, CSA had two main functions; they were the production print arm of Canon USA and they were the direct sales operation. From what we can tell, these groups will become part of CUSA and all products and personnel will be under “one roof.” If Can0n’s plan is to streamline and gain efficiency, it would seem that this move should accomplish that goal.

We will provide more on this story as it unfolds.

Here is a statement we received from Canon U.S.A., Inc.

Canon’s reorganizational efforts are designed to streamline operations and promote increased efficiency to achieve the necessary performance levels to meet our targets and remain competitive in a fast-changing industry. These plans were not made lightly, but they will support the company’s ability to meet the needs of our current and future clients and customers. Our success on the global level can provide Canon Americas with the necessary momentum for growth.

Canon is steadfast in its dedication to long-term sustainability and supporting our customers and partners. By facing customers and business partners without any silos, we will be better equipped to make speedy decisions and provide our customers with value-added solutions for growth.
