In 2024 Canon USA and Canada reduced workforce by roughly 14%. Melville and Boca saw a reduction of almost 150 employees. A North American wide restructuring.
In January 2025 CUSA and CSA merged.
March 2026 Canon USA announces new Americas Wide Production Print
Present Day, two years later. Most jobs eliminated have been restaffed, hiring is on the increase again. Almost a ditto of the COVID layoffs and then restaffing leading up to the 2024 RIF.
Revenue from sales is still below pre covid 2019 levels, staffing has increased, customer service and product reliability are still subpar.
Disparity between OCe management and Japan management still exists, BOCA management and Melville management at all time division.
Americas production print still not offering all the industrial equipment that the rest of world already does, a repeat of 2020 management.
Has nothing changed over the past 6 years. Will 2026 be Groundhog Day all over again?
Is it not obvious how siloed the company continues to become. No, I don't work for Canon, nor do I have any ax to grind, just stating the outward facing facts and observation. Where are the gains from all the restructuring from 2020 to 2024 to 2026?
