Océ-Deutschland GmbH Competence Center Ost

What Océ-Deutschland GmbH Competence Center Ost does

Canon Production Printing—operating in Germany under the legal entity Océ-Deutschland GmbH Competence Center Ost and continuing the heritage Océ brand—is a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon Inc. that designs, manufactures, and sells industrial production-grade printing systems. The portfolio is organized into six product categories: Large Format Graphics, Large Format Plotters, Cutsheet & Sheetfed, Continuous Feed, Industrial Packaging, and Software & Servers, supported by a dedicated Support Services line. End customers are commercial printers, industrial packaging manufacturers, and wide-format graphics producers served through a worldwide direct sales organization and likely authorized dealer networks.

The technical foundation rests on proprietary inkjet and UV printing technologies. Named flagship products include the varioPRINT iX1700 inkjet digital press for commercial cut-sheet print, the Colorado XL-series large-format hybrid printers combining UVgel and UV inkjet technologies, and the ColorStream 7000 Series web-fed production inkjet printer for mid-range workloads. R&D, production, logistics, and headquarters locations are distributed globally, with a flagship European site in Poing, Germany; a Lean Academy is maintained internally to codify manufacturing discipline. External recognition in 2026 includes Red Dot Design Awards for the varioPRINT iX1700 and Colorado XL-series, and the Bavarian Energy Prize 2026 for energy-efficient industrial production.

Canon Production Printing monetizes primarily through direct sales of capital equipment, recurring support services, and consumables. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and customers engage sales directly. Go-to-market is anchored by the corporate website (cpp.canon) and complemented by LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube channels. The parent company is Canon Inc., a Japanese multinational conglomerate, and no independent public listing, funding round, or PE/VC ownership is indicated; the company operates as a captive, privately held division of the Canon group with global enterprise customers in commercial and industrial printing.
