Komori People: Delivering Trust and Innovation in Security Printing Technology as a sales representative
Kumiko Matsushima (Security Printing Sales Department)
07 January 2026
Security printing machines are specialized equipment used to print items that require anti-counterfeiting technology, such as banknotes, government bonds, stamps, revenue stamps, and passports. As a sales representative for security printing machines, Kumiko Matsushima introduces Komori's refined, high-quality security printing technology to clients in regions including Canada, the United States, and Malta, helping them overcome challenges and achieve their goals.
Delivering Solutions that Enhance Security and Reliability
I believe it is essential to expand the possibilities of anti-counterfeiting technology and deliver reliability that ensures stable, high-quality printing for our customers. In addition to Komori's long-cultivated high-quality printing technology, we also offer solutions such as inline inspection cameras compatible with special inks and substrates, which help maintain stable quality in security printing. Through these efforts, I work every day with the conviction that we are delivering Komori's security printing technology to the world.
Security Printing Technology that Supports Everyday Life
When I see banknotes or passports printed at our customers' factories being used by people in their daily life, I realize how our technology supports everyday life.
When I see our customers' banknotes and passports in use, I realize how our technology supports everyday life. These printed materials play a vital role in safeguarding the identity of nations, businesses, and individuals. I take pride in knowing that Komori's security printing machines contribute to this important mission.
A Hands-On, On-Site Approach to Building Customer Trust
From initial specification discussions to machine installation, many departments are involved, including design, development, and assembly. My role as a sales representative is to clearly communicate customer requirements to our design and development teams so that Komori's technology can deliver solutions that address challenges and create new opportunities. As we move toward shipment and installation, I work closely with the assembly team to prepare for pre-shipment tests and acceptance tests at the customer site. By coordinating across departments, we ensure smooth machine operation and deliver Komori's print technology with confidence.
Delivery is not the end of the process. Even after installation, when customers explore new technologies, we conduct tests together and propose training for maintenance teams to help them keep machines in optimal condition for as long as possible. This ongoing support, both technical and operation, is highly valued by our customers. I believe that staying close to customers allows us to deliver genuine inspiration. During visits, I make it a point to communicate actively not only with managers but also with operators and maintenance staff, listening to diverse perspectives and challenges. Through these interactions, I aim to continue building strong relationships of trust.
Empathy and Trust Rooted in Komori's Culture
I vividly remember the words of a customer who installed a Komori machine for the first time. My first pre-shipment test was nerve-wracking, but a week of preparation with the customer paid off. They praised us, saying, "Komori's culture of facing challenges from the same perspective as the customer and working together to solve them is truly wonderful." This experience reinforced my commitment to maintaining a sincere and collaborative approach.
How I Spend My Time Off
On holidays, I enjoy golf, gourmet food, and reading, but I especially love traveling. As a student, I enjoyed experiencing new cultures abroad, but I have also come to appreciate the beauty of Japan. These days, I often travel to hot springs across the country. I cherish time to recharge while enjoying good food and nature.
