What The Hell - Katun Corporation

What The Hell - Katun Corporation

 What The Hell - Katun Corporation So, I just listened in on the Happy 1st Birthday Katun MFP webinar! Of course I asked questions unfortunately, the host said that this webinar wasn’t a webinar to discuss analytics or numbers. Apparently gratuitous platitudes and nonsense was the agenda.

Here's my thinking Additives without math are usually proved pure bullshit! I am thinking it has been a year - is Katun ashamed of the numbers?

What was the intent of this webinar? We listened to a slew of gratuitous platitudes and nothing specific regarding any success or strategy. Also sharing the hundreds of years in combined experience in an industry where the average age is over 50 is completely unnecessary. As all your OEM competitors with thousands of employees crush your combined total.

I was also shocked to hear the U.S. Channel Leader again say, that Katun will eventually have production print equipment.

I am thinking the discussion regarding production print was simply a distraction to keep the audience from thinking about all the math that was missing from the webinar.

Here are my questions so the industry's actors can think for themselves why these questions weren’t answered.

Please share the FY 2024 total revenue numbers for parent GPI and the amount of revenue generated from Katun? Also, please specify the amount of revenue generated from MFPs?

How many MFP resellers/dealers does Katun have?

What is the expectation regarding revenues strictly from MFPs for FY 2025?

What is the Katun differnator? Please don't answer with everyday permissions to show up!

My friends at Katun the industry doesn’t need another MFP and I don't believe you shared a compelling reason for a dealer to engage the Katun MFP product line. And by ignoring the numbers I am thinking the first year was probably a disaster!

The industry’s OEMs have to push aside their constrained viewpoints and do something dramatic. The industry’s innovation at the end user’s level will take an OEM to bring to market that which will feed its dealer footprint to change the game in a quickly changing industry needing reinvention.

The Hell With The Drill And The Hole!

The outcome for those seeking a hole is more complex; therefore, it’s now important to understand why the hole is needed in the first place. Let’s say the outcome past the hole is to run a cable through the wall, and the outcome past the cable is to receive digital content through the cable (Watching TV).
