HP Inc. marks one year of reinvention

PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Nov 1, 2016) - One year ago today, HP Inc. (NYSE: HPQ) was created as a result of the largest separation in corporate history. At that moment, the Silicon Valley pioneer began a journey of reinvention as a new company with the heart and energy of a startup, and the brains and muscle of a Fortune 100.

With a well-recognized brand operating at tremendous scale, HP set out to reinvent itself and the industries it serves through a series of aggressive moves in Printing, 3D Printing, and Personal Systems. While focused on innovating in its core business, HP continued to aggressively expand into new growth categories and future product segments and markets.

Disrupting the $12 trillion manufacturing industry with commercial 3D Printing

• HP introduced the HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution, the world's first production-ready 3D printing system. Strategic 3D printing partners include BMW, Nike, Autodesk, Johnson & Johnson and many others, all engaged in putting HP's 3D printing technology to work for prototyping and parts production for automotive, aerospace, healthcare, consumer goods, and other applications. Building on HP's leadership in 2D printing, the new 3D printer systems, along with HP's bold new open innovation platform, will revolutionize manufacturing by enabling highly customized products to be made closer to where the customers live.

Disrupting the A3 copier category with superior ink and laser multifunction printing

• As the global leader in A4 printing, HP introduced 16 new printing solutions for the $55 billion A3 market, which has long been dominated by complicated, complex, and outdated copier technology. To accelerate disruption, HP announced a deal to acquire Samsung's printer business for $1.05 billion, which is expected to close in the second half of 2017. By combining Samsung's A3 laser technologies with HP's next-generation ink-printing technologies, HP now offers customers breakthrough performance and economics, including greater reliability and the lowest cost-per-color-page in the industry. For channel partners, it represents the industry's best portfolio of A3 laser, MFPs, and A4 laser printing solutions for the office.
