Through strategic expansion and a focus on technical excellence, AVS Technologies has built a reputation as a trusted provider of printing solutions.

Founded in 1983, AVS Technologies (“AVS”) initially positioned itself as a trusted provider of IT equipment and support services across a range of industries. As market demands evolved, the company identified an increasing need for high-quality large-format printers and digital printing equipment. Leveraging its technical expertise, AVS transitioned into the large-format printing sector, demonstrating remarkable agility in adapting to a new field and product line. This pivotal shift provided a foundation for growth, paving the way for further expansion.

Strengthening its regional presence, AVS established its wholly owned Malaysian subsidiary, AVS Solutions Sdn Bhd, in 2005. Today, AVS is a leading distributor of large-format commercial printers, representing globally recognised brands such as Roland DG, EFI, HP, Canon, and Epson. Its diverse product portfolio includes eco-solvent, UV, UVgel, latex, photo, and direct-to-garment (DTG) printers, along with 3D printers, engraving machines, and digital cutters. The company serves a broad client base – including print shops, advertising agencies, premium gift retailers, and educational institutions – delivering superior print solutions that enhance quality, efficiency, and creativity.

AVS Technologies prides itself on going beyond printer distribution, placing a strong emphasis on technical excellence, reliability, and comprehensive support.

Led by Managing Director Mr Kelvin Mun, AVS continually explores emerging printing technologies while investing in advanced technical capabilities – allowing the company to innovate and maintain its position at the forefront of the industry. The organisation fosters a culture of knowledge-sharing and mentorship, ensuring that training and skill development remain central to its operations. Beyond business activities, AVS actively engages with the community, promoting print education, supporting local exhibitions, sponsoring industry events, and advocating eco-friendly printing solutions.

A CONTINUUM OF ONGOING SUCCESS

AVS’ journey through the printing industry spans more than four decades. By 1993, the company recognised the rising demand for commercial printing in Singapore, capitalising on the opportunity to introduce digital printing equipment to address this need. This marked a major breakthrough as AVS became Roland DG’s first authorised distributor in Southeast Asia – an achievement that set the tone for future expansion.

In 1996, AVS strengthened its market position further by securing an exclusive distribution agreement with EFI, supplying super-wide UV printers for commercial printing in both Singapore and Malaysia. A decade later, in 2006, the company extended its operations into Malaysia, securing a solid regional foothold beyond Singapore.

Building on its success, AVS reaffirmed its commitment to sustainable printing solutions in 2018 when it was appointed by HP as an official reseller of Latex printers – a move that simultaneously enhanced its environmentally responsible product offerings. This was followed with the securing of an exclusive agreement with Canon for printer distribution in Singapore and Malaysia in 2022, cementing AVS as an undisputed industry leader.

Most recently, in 2025, AVS achieved another milestone by being appointed as a distributor for Epson printers in Singapore. By adding another respected name to its stable of established partnerships, the company further reinforced its reputation as a leading supplier of high-quality printing solutions.

RESILIENCE, ACHIEVEMENTS, AND FUTURE GROWTH

AVS Technologies has consistently demonstrated resilience in overcoming challenges. This was fully evidenced during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when the company swiftly adapted its operations to set up a face mask production facility. As the business pivoted, employees underwent specialised training to acquire the requisite skills needed to oversee the operation.

Despite economic uncertainties, AVS remained committed to preserving jobs and sustaining business continuity. Employees rose to the occasion, playing vital roles in machine operations, maintaining hygiene standards, and ensuring efficient production workflows. Within a fortnight, AVS successfully launched a fully operational business, earning ISO 13485 certification and positioning itself as a trusted producer of locally manufactured medical masks. Additionally, the company partnered with taxi drivers impacted by the pandemic, enabling them to distribute masks as an alternative source of income.

Attributing its success to its dedicated team and unparalleled distribution network, AVS has successfully attracted and retained partnerships with major global brands. Looking ahead, the company aims to expand its portfolio of printing solutions, strengthen its commitment to sustainability, and invest further in workforce upskilling and training initiatives. At the core of its future plans is an unwavering commitment to discovering and advancing cutting-edge printing technologies, providing AVS Technologies with a solid foundation to maintain its position as a market leader.
