Our aim is to provide customers with complete solutions, not just sell products

  • Before a sale, our experienced and knowledgeable sales personnel are happy to provide customers with advice on selecting the optimum instruments and measurement methods to achieve the desired results. And even after a product or system has been purchased, our comprehensive support system can answer questions regarding product operation and use.
  • In many regions, we offer various kinds of seminars, training, consultations, etc. to help customers deepen their understanding of basic and advanced measurement principles, quality control methods, applicable standards, etc. Our online 
    Measurement Fundamentals
     pages are also a good introduction to color and light measurements.
  • Our sales companies worldwide offer a broad range of support services, which may include service contracts, on-site service, IQ OQ PQ validation, etc. to meet customer needs. (Please note that services available will vary depending on the region and sales office. Contact your nearest Konica Minolta sales office or authorized dealer for details of the offerings in your area.)

Our Trio of Trusts

The Trio of Trusts: Three reasons why customers rely on us.

Our Areas of Expertise

Colour Measurement
Colour Measurement

Precise colour data for industrial applications. Helping customers to specify, produce and approve product colour in all substrates.

Colour management is essential in many areas of manufacturing, including automotive, paint, plastic, textiles, construction materials and food. Spectrophotometers and colorimeters are used to measure subtle colour differences that human eyes cannot distinguish accurately. Konica Minolta's spectrophotometers and colorimeters are widely utilized within quality control, R&D, distribution and sales to help our customers to operate more efficiently, deliver a consistent quality product and consistent branding. Our experienced teams can help establish systems for accurate, repeatable and traceable control of colour that can be shared and communicated with supply partners to save time, improve quality and cut waste.

Light and Display Measurement
Light and Display Measurement

Our wide lineup of proven products makes us one of the market's leading performers

Display color analyzers help test display performance and quality in examination and adjustment of white balance and contrast, by precisely measuring chroma, brightness and balance. As the market for widescreen TVs (plasma, LCD) and LED products (mobile phones, digital cameras, car navigation equipment) expands, demand for display color analyzers is increasing. Konica Minolta's advanced display analyzers enjoy a large share of this market. We also offer a wide range of other products to meet the needs of the display market with various mixed formats, including a spectroradiometer for brightness and chroma measurement and 2D color analyzer to measure the distribution of brightness and chroma.
