Data Direct Thames Valley has been appointed as official UK distributor for Mutoh, expanding its offering to include the manufacturer’s full range of wide format printers.

The partnership gives Data Direct’s dealer network access to Mutoh’s signage, graphics, textile, décor, and professional imaging solutions, supported by the distributor’s logistics, service and dealer-only programmes. The move follows Data Direct’s recent appointment as the exclusive UK distributor for Rowe wide format scanners, folders, and cutters, positioning the company as a one-stop supplier for wide format solutions.

“This partnership with Mutoh is a huge step forward for our dealer community,” said Peter Cowan, group COO at Data Direct Thames Valley. “It means our partners can confidently expand into wide format printing with an established brand, while still enjoying the trusted support, fulfilment, and dealer-first approach that Data Direct is known for.”

Founded in 1993, Data Direct is one of the UK’s largest independent distributors in the print and imaging sector, with a £2m UK-held inventory and nationwide next-day fulfilment. Mutoh, headquartered in Japan, is a global manufacturer with more than 70 years of experience producing wide format printers for signage, décor, and industrial applications.
