Konica Minolta targets €50m sales in Portugal by 2030

Konica Minolta plans to bring its sensor business from Japan to Portugal within the next two years, as part of a growth plan that targets €50 million in local revenue by 2030, ECOnews has learned. The move would add a new industrial technology line to the group’s Portuguese unit and expand its role beyond printing and office services.

Pedro Monteiro, Konica Minolta’s general manager in Portugal, told ECOnews that the Portuguese subsidiary has been cleared by Tokyo to develop the business locally after Austria and the Czech Republic. The plan involves receiving technology currently sold in Asia through the group holding company, while training and recruiting staff over a four-year period. Monteiro said sensorisation and visual inspection would be the company’s entry point to industrial clients in Portugal.

The Japanese group has also approved a new Lisbon office, due to open in September in Parque das Nações, while keeping its Prior Velho site for logistics. Konica Minolta Portugal currently has 320 employees across Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra and the Algarve, and expects to add 30 to 40 more by 2030, according to Monteiro.

Konica Minolta Portugal posted €41 million in revenue in the 2025/2026 fiscal year ended in March, up 5% year on year, driven by professional and industrial printing. The company said its traditional business still accounts for 65% to 70% of turnover, but expects newer areas such as IT services, industrial printing and, later, sensors to take a larger share of sales.
