TA Triumph-Adler GmbH

What TA Triumph-Adler GmbH does

TA Triumph-Adler GmbH is a Nuremberg-based, privately held German subsidiary of Kyocera Document Solutions Inc. (Japan), tracing its origins to 19th-century Triumph and Adler typewriter brands. The company sells and services multifunction printers (MFPs), production printing systems (TA Pro 15050c, TA Pro 55050c, and the 2025 High-Volume Series), and a portfolio of cloud and on-premise document management software including yuuvis RAD as a Service (an Optimal Systems ECM hosted on Exoscale), TA Cloud Information Manager (TACIM), TA Cloud Capture, and TA Cloud Print & Scan. It also provides proprietary fleet management software (TA Cockpit, aQrate) and Managed Document Services (MDS) contracts ranging from rental and leasing to full-service and refresh arrangements.

The company operates through an enterprise field-sales model anchored by 400 consultants and 500 service employees across 24 German branches, the densest service network in the German office printing market, with wholly-owned subsidiaries in Austria (Vienna) and Switzerland (Embrach) and export partners reaching Great Britain. Its installed base exceeds 313,000 managed systems, and in the IDC 2023 A3/A4 B2B segment (21–90 ppm) the combined TA Triumph-Adler / UTAX / Kyocera share is 18.6% of the German market. Revenue is generated through a mix of hardware sales, multi-year MDS contracts (rental, lease, purchase, service, Fresh-up), subscription cloud software (yuuvis RAD, TACIM), consumables (toner, drum units, paper — partly auto-replenished via TA Cockpit), professional services, and financing through TA Leasing GmbH. Customer logos span automotive retail (Nord-Ostsee Automobile), hospitality (25hours Hotels), legal (ETL Rechtsanwälte), document logistics (DOCUsystem), consumer electronics (Hitachi Europe), and office furniture (Sedus Stoll AG), with positioning around the 2025 B2B e-invoicing mandate, GoBD-compliant archiving, and NIS-2 compliance as key demand drivers.
