Canon Ireland has announced it will join forces with Cantec Group today (17.01.23) to open
the new Canon Business Centre Munster. Headquartered in Cork, CBC Munster will support
local businesses across the region by offering printer hardware, software, services and
support. CBC Munster will provide a centre of excellence and innovation for Canon products
in Cork, helping customers to print more securely, efficiently and sustainably.


The announcement marks a significant milestone for Cantec Group, as the new Canon
Business Centre is the first of its kind in Ireland. CBC Munster will be ideally placed to help
support the adoption of digital technologies by all businesses, which is a core target under
the Irish Government’s National Digital Strategy.


It will offer advice to local businesses across Munster, providing them with tailored
technology solutions to support their business needs and combine the expertise of a local
and trusted reseller with the strength of Canon’s award-winning portfolio of products and
solutions.


Based in Waterford, Cantec Group was established in 1994 as a photocopier dealership by
the parents of CEO Greg Tuohy and executive chair Eadaoin Carrick. Since then, the
business has grown with offices in Limerick, Mullingar, Dublin and Cork to become a Canon
Platinum partner and a recognised industry leader, delivering integrated hardware and
software solutions.


Commenting on the launch, Philip Brady, Head of Canon Ireland said: “Cantec is a
trusted partner that we have been working alongside for many years and share many of
the same values, including an ambition to deliver the best customer service and
innovation to our customers. By partnering together to create a Canon Business Centre
in Cork, we hope to deliver even stronger support to local businesses to help them grow
in these challenging times.”


Greg Tuohy, CEO, Cantec Group added: “Since we opened our doors in Waterford back in
1994, our close working relationship with Canon has been instrumental in our growth. We
have evolved from a local photocopier dealer, run by three family members, to a highly
diversified technology service provider, employing 54 people across 5 regional offices”.

“Agility is essential in business today, and we have responded really well to changing
conditions in the market. Canon Business Centre Munster is the culmination of what we
have built over three decades, combining the reliability of a local business with the powerful
resources of Canon. I am excited for the future, and looking forward to helping more
businesses across Ireland achieve their digital transformation objectives”.
