Danka (copier supplier)
Konica Minolta Danka Imaging is a St. Petersburg, Florida based North American independent provider of copiers, printers, fax machines and other office imaging and document management equipment.
Founded in 1977 by Dan Doyle and Frank McPeak, in the 1990s Danka acquired :de:Infotec|Infotec and then Kodak Office Imaging, making the renamed Danka Group an international company and brand with offices and retail outlets in the United States and throughout Europe, which included sponsorship of the English football club Everton from 1995 to 1997, British based Formula 1 team Arrows in 1997 and 1998 and the silks of the rider of Royal Athlete when that horse won the 1995 Grand National steeplechase. Danka sold its European operations to Ricoh in 2006/2007, along with the :de:infotec|Infotec brand under which the European offices are now rebranded. On June 27, 2008, Konica-Minolta completed its acquisition of Danka, and the new company will be known as Konica Minolta Danka Imaging. As of June 27, 2008, Danka is no longer an authorized dealer of Canon or Toshiba products.
