December 20, 2024, marks the official retirement of David Gibbons, a huge person in the global imaging supply industry, from his position as the Director of International Communications in the Recycling Times. The news of his departure has brought a wave of sadness for those who have followed their brilliant 32 -year career. In Japan, David is widely considered as the factor of the industry, regularly referred to with its insight and is honored through countless articles he has written.
Personally, I have always trusted David’s writing to be informed and gain a deep understanding of the current landscape and future trajectory of the industry. His ability to disturb complex themes into actionable knowledge made him an indispensable resource for professionals worldwide, including themselves. Although he is stepping down, I sincerely hope that he will sometimes share his intense insight with us in some capacity. The industry still has to learn a lot from him.
David’s last article for recycling Times, titled Winter is coming for imaging industryEcho deeply with me. This was an excellent culmination of his career, a Stark and a clear message. David was not reluctant to address the difficult truth, and his writing lifted his experience and vision. I moved so much from his words that I translated the article in Japanese and interrupted it inside my company, cururi. This is an article that we will often see again, reminiscent of important lessons that keep it for the front road.
Asked if the Curie is ready for the coming winter, my reply is that we are in the middle of an intensive preparation stage. To ensure that we are ready, we are actively bringing diversity in our offerings and searching for new business undertakings. As Mark Dawson revealed in his recent article, Navigating Digital Shift: Opportunity for Diversion for Office Printing IndustryPivitting in new areas is not only possible, but also necessary to survive. In the Qrie, we are favorable and firm to innovation to meet the rapidly developed market challenges.
Curie’s position in Japan’s third-party office is strongly established by the supply of e-commerce market. Our three -time victory of Rakutten’s prestigious Shop of the Year Award is a will for our dominance at this place. However, the journey of this market’s “Iron throne” is not without competition. One such rival was G-Stream (GST), which is a company in Fukuoka that I keep in the highest relationship. GST, a malignant competitive in our region, has shifted its attention to another domain and achieved remarkable success. He has left us behind by winning a will by winning us an impressive award four times, his friendly and his ability to flourish. This is the essence of winter preparation.
David’s article acts as a beacon, which reminds us of the need to customize and innovate. In Curie, we are embracing their message, making sure that we are ready not only for further challenges, but are ready to seize new opportunities. The upcoming winter will test all of us, but with the right mentality and strategy, it will also open the doors for a bright future.
