PRINTITRESELLER.UK 3 COMMENT On December 23, Xerox announced it had agreed to acquire Lexmark for $1.5 billion - this move is undoubtedly the biggest disruptor to the market since the HP/Samsung deal in 2017 which was valued at $1.05 billion. The transaction between the two print industry icons is expected to close in the second half of 2025. The combined company is expected to serve more than 200,000 clients in 170 countries and have a market share among the top five firms globally in various print segments. Following on from the big reveal of the 2024 PrintIT Award winners last issue, we asked the worthy recipients what being recognised with a PrintIT Award means to them – you can find out on page 39. This month, we feature the third and final part of our annual print predictions feature (page 22), where more of the industry’s leading vendors share their thoughts on what 2025 will hold for the print and IT sectors. Also in this issue, Lauren Mottram, Marketing Manager at Fidelity Energy, picks the work tools she uses every day and couldn’t do her job without (page 18). This month’s Q&A is with Jack McPhillips, Director, Digital Office Group, and PITR spent 60 seconds with Frankie Green, Digital Marketing Executive, Nuvem Solutions.
