ScanSnap sales top three million
Worldwide sales of Fujitsu ScanSnap scanners have exceeded three million
units, making ScanSnap the second best-selling document scanner range
of all time less. Only Fujitsu’s own fi Series of professional document
management scanners has sold in greater numbers. It took Fujitsu
more than 10 years to sell its first two million
ScanSnap scanners (July 2001 – June 2012) and
less than two years to sell its next million.
AF to the rescue
AF Tech-Rescue, an emergency recovery kit for
water-affected mobile phones, won the Product
Innovations Award at this year’s NEMO dealer
group conference.
NEMO is an independent purchasing and
marketing dealer group with more than 85
members. Its annual conference took place on
June 27-28 at Slaley Hall, Hexham.

technology cleaning solutions, claims that the Kit
has a 95% successful recovery rate (in laboratory
conditions) for portable electronic devices that
have had a soaking.

Badgemaster takes over nearest rival
Badgemaster, which claims to be the
UK’s largest manufacturer of name
badges, has acquired its principal
competitor Akorn Badge Company
Ltd.
Badgemaster says the acquisition
will ensure customers benefit from even
more competitive prices, thanks to its
greatly increased buying power, more
choice and better customer service.
In 2006, Badgemaster was granted
the Royal Warrant for the supply of
name badges to the staff of the royal
households. It achieved ISO 9001
accreditation for quality management
in 2010 and, in 2013, gained ISO 14001
environmental accreditation.
Jim Kent and Jim McNiven, former
managing director and former general
manager of Akorn Badge Company
respectively, have taken on senior
management roles at Badgemaster.

25 years of Bio Top 3
Mondi has marked the 25th anniversary of its BIO TOP 3 off-white, totally
chlorine-free (TCF) paper by launching a carbon neutral version.
BIO TOP 3 was the world’s first TCF paper when launched in 1989 and it
continues to be produced chlorine-free and without any optical brightening agents
(OBAs), resulting in a natural, uncoated feel and an off-white shade.
It is certified to EU Ecolabel and Austrian Environmental
Label standards and is part of Mondi’s Green Range of
sustainably produced products.
Since its launch, BIO TOP 3 has kept pace with
developments in printing. Originally launched as
an 80gsm office paper, it is now also available as
a hybrid paper for the offset and digital printing of
catalogues, corporate reports and premium books.
