Kenro hails Focus a 'huge success'

Kenro at Focus 2010 The recent Focus-on-Imaging trade show proved to be a real winner for Kenro, with the company reporting record levels of sales enquiries.

As Kenro Managing Director, Paul Kench says, they were delighted with the show: "We invested heavily in a new stand for Focus and this investment has certainly paid off. Our stand was busy all day, every day and we've never taken as many sales enquires at a trade show. A particular triumph for us was our range of Benro tripods that we launched at Focus - they went down really well with visitors."

Focus organisers backed up Kenro's positive response to the event, recording a biggest-ever attendance of over 34,000 over the four day show.

In addition to Benro tripods, the company is also the official UK distributor for Tokina lenses, Nissin flash equipment and the Marumi range of filters, flash guns and camera accessories. Kenro also produces its own ranges of photo frames, photo albums and accessories including the legendary Kenair.

Fujifilm announces streamlining of film range

 

Fujifilm Professional has announced the withdrawal of three of its films. The affected products are Neopan 400 120, Superia Reala 35mm, and Pro 160S 35mm.

 

The remaining films in the Pro 160S range are to be re-branded as Pro 160NS, to fall in line with a global name change. The film itself remains unaltered.

 

Fujifilm's Senior Product Manager for Professional Film, Russ Gunn, explained the move to halt production: "It is never good news to announce product discontinuations but unfortunately we have had to sacrifice some of our slower selling films to enable us to continue to produce and market our more popular formats. We have stocks of each of these films in storage and, depending on demand, there should be sufficient quantities to last for another six to eight months."

 

Gunn continued: "In the case of Neopan 400 120 our hand has been forced by environmental concerns over one of the raw materials used in its production."

 

In further product development news, from early Summer 2010 Fujifilm's ranges of 5"x4" and 10"x8" films will be packed as 20 sheet boxes instead of the current 10 sheet packs.

 

The full range of Fujifilm Professional's film stock is available to buy online via www.fujilab.co.uk - for further details on the range visit, www.fujifilm.co.uk/professional

Fujifilm hails Spring Fair PDF Print E-mail

Fujifilm hails Spring Fair a 'huge success'

The recent Spring Fair International trade fair proved to be real winner for Fujifilm, with the company reporting much higher than expected levels of orders and enquires.

As Peter Hayward, commercial manager from Fujifilm says, they were delighted by the results: "We were much busier than in previous years and the number of firm orders was up dramatically. The show was so good for us, we've already booked our stand for 2011. There was a really positive feeling about Spring Fair this year, with a definite 'recession-busting' feel in the air!"

One of the big hits on the Fujifilm stand were the demonstrations of Wunderbars, the revolutionary framing system for canvas prints. Peter explains: "We were keen to show visitors to Spring Fair how easy it is to create canvas wraps using the Wunderbars system so we had a continuous   stretching demonstration on our stand that showed the full process, including printing and stretching. This proved to be a huge success and we'll be repeating the formula for the forthcoming Focus-on-Imaging trade fair."

Spring Fair organisers backed-up Fujifilm's positive view on the show, reporting that the 70,000 visitors who made the trip to the NEC this year was the highest footfall the Fair has enjoyed for three years.
