Xerox lands £41m print deal with auto firm Europart

Xerox has bagged a £41m pan-European deal to supply print services to leading car and machinery parts supplier Europart, bringing extra work to its print partners.

Under the terms of the seven-year deal, Xerox Global Services will manage the group's on- and off-site services from March 2008.

It is to remove existing printing kit at Europart, including three Xerox iGen3 production presses and 600 departmental scanners, printers and faxes.

The latter kit will be replaced with 232 networked multifunction Xerox machines, while Xerox Premier Partners will take over the production of Europart documents, including sales and marketing brochures.

Xerox has 38 Premier Partners in the UK, including Hewitt Digital, Adare and Image Data.

The deal also includes invoice approval and delivery order management systems, plus customer contact centre services through a partnership with SNT AG.

Once in place, the new contract guarantees savings of 20% in some areas of the business.

Europart director Alexander Graf von Matuschka-Greiffenclau said: "We have been extremely impressed by both the advisory skills and creative solutions that Xerox has offered us."

There was no incumbent supplier replaced, nor were there any competitors to the deal.
