KYOCERA Document Solutions South Africa has appointed Brandon Zabielski as its new hardware product manager for A4 solutions. In his new role, Zabielski will drive the growth of the group's A4 printing portfolio.

Zabielski has extensive experience in the printing and document solutions market, encompassing business disciplines such as finance, marketing, and supply chain management.

He was soon promoted to product manager, and served Printacom in this role for five years. Then, he joined Canon as product manager with calculators and laser printers in his portfolio. A stint at International Data Corporation as a senior research analyst followed, with Zabielski conducting in-depth surveys and analyses of Africa's document solutions market.

Says Zabielski: "In the past few years, I have watched the industry evolve from a transactional business to a customer-centred and solutions-focused market. With its strong infrastructure and product portfolio, KYOCERA Document Solutions South Africa is in a strong position to lead this shift and help customers to drive the best possible returns from their document output environments. I am looking forward to working with the team to grow our business in the months to come."
