Toshiba earned the award – which was judged by 12 executives – for its e-STUDIO2550C and e-STUDIO2551C series of color multifunction products (MFPs). 

More than 3,200 Stevie award nominations from organizations of all sizes and in virtually every industry were submitted this year for consideration in a wide range of categories including Most Innovative Company of the Year, Management Team of the Year, Best New Product or Service of the Year, Corporate Social Responsibility Program of the Year, and Executive of the Year. 

Toshiba’s two award-winning e-STUDIO series outfit small-to-medium size businesses entry-level products to produce dazzlingly vibrant color documents at up to 25 pages-per-minute. By implementing the company’s latest generation e-BRIDGE technology and up to 600 x 1,200 DPI resolution, the MFPs couple the performance and image quality businesses demand, but at a lower than expected price.

The four compact and durable models additionally offer color scanning, printing and copying with optional faxing capability.
