Agreed, Expanding direct sales was way at the top of Canon's priority list - especially after losing GIS,Danka,IKON.

But without "Mega" dealers, this expansion was going to have to happen organically - which is hard. Ask the 8 CBS branches that opened this year without any clients or machines in the field.

Given that Oce almost totally relied on direct sales. I would say that they easily have over 30 US sales branches. Maybe closer to 50. Those are both guesses though
