POST-GALA SPECIAL EDITION
This week’s episode is a tad long but worth the watch. Founder Frank G. Cannata and Editor-in-Chief Mark Vruno run through this year’s “Frank Award” nominees, who were voted in by the 415 dealers responding to our annual survey. The 14 winners were announced yesterday evening at The Cannata Report’s 40th Annual Awards & Charities Gala:
- Which OEM took home Best in Class: Ricoh, Sharp, or Toshiba?
- Who’s the best partner for diversifying product and service offerings?
- What about production printing manufacturers, specifically? Who ranks at the top?
- Larry White, CEO of Toshiba America Business Solutions, was crowned Best Male Executive.
- Who were White’s female counterparts in the dealer channel, and who won?
It’s all here—and more. Frank adds context and inight, of course, in discussing the award categories and nominees. On the heels of Veterans Day on November 11, he also salutes all six U.S. military veterans who were nominated for our 2025 Outstanding Veteran Award. This year’s recipient is Stew Campbell of Datamaz Arkansas. Congratulations to all!
At last night’s Gala, The Cannata Report honored the memory of the late Mike McGuirk, founder of ProCopy Office Solutions. Funds raised will support the Inserra Family Diabetes Institute at Hackensack Meridian Hackensack University Medical Center. Please consider donating via our fundraising website.
