“The annual PIXI Awards – now in its 9^th-year running – has become an important tradition for Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific,” said Steve Ford, general manager, Production Sales & Marketing, Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific. “It underscores not only our appreciation for our customers’ businesses, but also the opportunity to reward them for the great work they do every day, powered by our document management and communications solutions.” 

“Being a part of the judging panel for the PIXI Awards 2016 has given me a first-eye view of the amazing range of digitally printed work by Fuji Xerox customers – resulting from the combination of creativity and technology innovation in the printing and communications solutions sphere,” said Paul Callaghan, publisher and chairman of the Asian Print Awards, and head of the 2016 PIXI panel judge. “This annual initiative by Fuji Xerox is a great way to connect with customers while recognizing their innovative projects and creations.”
